What is the Treatment for SIADH in Children?

The management of SIADH in pediatrics revolves around correcting the underlying cause and careful fluid management:
- Fluid Restriction: Limiting fluid intake is the cornerstone of treatment to prevent further dilution of sodium.
- Sodium Replacement: In severe cases, intravenous saline or hypertonic saline may be administered under strict medical supervision.
- Medications: Vaptans, which are vasopressin receptor antagonists, may be used in certain cases, although their use in pediatrics is limited and should be closely monitored.
