hypotonic syndromes

hypotonic syndromes
a group of syndromes involving inadequate water excretion in comparison to the amount ingested, so that body fluids become hypotonic and hyponatremic; some are due to excessive water intake as in water intoxication, while others are caused by derangements of the excretory process such as the vasopressin excess in the syndrome of inappropriate diuretic hormone or complications of the nephrotic syndrome, congestive heart failure, or kidney failure.
