Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to detect if there are any differences in the coding region of SLC12A3 gene in individuals who have had hyponatremia associated to the use of thiazides, and those thiazides consumers without hyponatremia that have demonstrated good tolerance to the drug.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    This is a Case Control study to compare the coding region of SLC12A3 gene in individuals who have had hyponatremia associated to the use of thiazides, and those thiazides consumers without hyponatremia that have demonstrated good tolerance to the drug.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    Hyponatremia Group (Cases)

    Patients over 21 years old, with confirmed antecedent of thiazide-induced hyponatremia who required hospitalization with a serum sodium concentration lower than 125 meq/L.

    Good Thiazide Tolerance (Controls)

    Patients over 21 years old, who have consumed thiazide diuretics for more than 2 years, with a serum sodium concentration persistently over 135 meq/L.
