Materials and methods: The sample was collected from, patients admitted in NTU/ICU/CCU and various medical wards of ruby hall Clinic, Pune . The sample size was determined with the help of expert. Results : The rate of decline in serum sodium concentration, the patient’s age, and the volume of extracellular fluid (ECF) all affect the clinical presentation.53In this study 86 i.e. 57.3% patients were Male and 64 i.e. 42.7% patients were Female. Male to Female ratio is- 1.34:1 (Table-2)In this study there are 50 Euvolemic patients, out of that 34 i.e.68 % were due to SIADH, 13 i.e. 26 % were due to low intake and 3(6 %) were due to Hypothyroidism.
