Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) Archives

Tag: Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH)

Approximately 7% to 16% of those with SCLC will develop SIADH at some point. With SIADH, a person produces an excessive amount of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Normally, ADH helps the kidneys control how much water the body loses through the urine. An excess amount of the hormone results in the body retaining too much water and leads to low sodium levels.

Symptoms of SIADH include:

– falls
– headache
– nausea
– seizures
– depression
– muscle cramps
– lethargy
– fatigue
– confusion
– personality changes

Disclaimer:The information in this Spotlight is for general education and awareness. It does not replace personalised medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Lung Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (NENs) are complex and highly variable, and individual cases may differ significantly from the patterns described here. Always discuss your own situation, test results, and treatment options with your specialist team, including your thoracic, oncology, endocrine, or NET multidisciplinary team (MDT). If you have concerns about symptoms, progression, or treatment decisions, please seek guidance from your clinical team without delay. This 2026 updated spotlight summarises the latest understanding of Lung Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (NENs), including terminology,…

Paraneoplastic Syndromes – the NET Effect

Patient Advocacy, Survivorship, The NET Effect SeriesAcromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, Ectopic Cushing’s syndrome (ECS), Hypercalcemia, Hyperglycemia, Hypoglycemia, Neurologic paraneoplastic syndromes, Paraneoplastic syndromes, Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH)

Although several hypotheses have been proposed regarding the pathogenesis of Paraneoplastic Syndromes (PNS), the precise mechanism that leads to the development of PNS remains largely unknown. In simple terms, pathogenesis means "the manner of development of a disease". Disclaimer. I read widely and noted various papers where there was clearly confusion about the classification of paraneoplastic in relation to Neuroendocrine Neoplasms. Some papers grouped known Neuroendocrine Tumour hormonal syndromes in, but others were more specific by filtering these into ectopic scenarios. I eventually filtered out papers based on the expertise of the authors and the common threads running in each…
