Abstract:
We describe a patient with hyponatremia induced by the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor; imidapril HCl. Although the mechanism of severe hyponatremia due to ACE inhibitor is not clear, it is conceivable that ACE inhibitor therapy may complicate the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone and induce hyponatremia. In addition, the possibility should be considered that hyponatremia in our patient is a presumptive interaction between oxcarbazepine and imidapril HCl.
