mcl To expand, SIADH may also result in euvolemic hyponatremia. This is because, as we know, ADH increases absorption of water and therefore initially results in an increased circulating volume. However, this results in increased stretch of the atria and subsequent secretion of ANP. ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) then results in loss of sodium and water. +10

hello SIADH = MC paraneoplastic syndrome of small oat cell lung cancer. Also, Cushing syndrome would cause would weight gain, skin hyperpigmentation, and hypokalemia. Not, lyperlipidemia. +1

charmrooftops You do get hyperlipidemia in cushing though? https://www.amboss.com/us/knowledge/Cushing_syndrome So still unsure why this is not a possibility. Is it just a "more common" thing for SIADH? +2

peridot I was debating the same thing. But yeah I guess the SIADH association is just supposed to be stronger somehow and "more common"? +
