Hyperosmolality and hypernatraemia - what does this mean

Hyperosmolality and hypernatraemia occur when the sodium concentration in the blood is higher than normal, causing an imbalance in the body's fluid levels. this can be caused by a decrease in water intake, an increase in sodium intake, dehydration, certain medications, or kidney or adrenal gland disorders.

What happens during the disease - hyperosmolality and hypernatraemia

Hyperosmolality and hypernatraemia are caused by an imbalance in the body's electrolyte levels, which can be caused by excessive water loss or inadequate water intake. this leads to a decrease in the amount of water in the body relative to the amount of sodium, resulting in an increase in the osmolality and concentration of sodium in the blood. the body then attempts to compensate by increasing thirst and the production of antidiuretic hormone, but if the electrolyte imbalance is not corrected, the result can be severe dehydration, organ damage, and even death.
