Description

Inappropriate ADH Syndrome is a condition characterized by excessive release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the posterior pituitary gland, leading to water retention and dilutional hyponatremia. This syndrome can occur in various clinical settings, including malignancies, central nervous system disorders, and pulmonary diseases.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'SSIDH' is a common abbreviation used in clinical settings. It is important to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms. Some may mistakenly refer to this condition as 'síndrome de secreción inadecuada de hormona antidiurética', which is a longer form but less frequently used in practice.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with Inappropriate ADH Syndrome after presenting with severe hyponatremia.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con SSIDH después de presentar una hiponatremia severa.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'Inappropriate ADH Syndrome' with diabetes insipidus; mispronouncing 'SSIDH' as 'SSID'; using informal language instead of clinical terminology.
