Delayed postoperative hyponatremia in patients with acromegaly: incidence and predictive factors
Authors' conclusion
The findings suggested that lower preoperative weight and a postoperative transient gain in body weight are associated with an increased risk of DPH in acromegaly patients undergoing transsphenoidal surgery.
