Abstract
Urine volume and osmolality were studied in two schizophrenic patients with hyponatremia and six normal subjects after they smoked or ingested cigarettes. The results suggest that cigarette use may contribute to the development of hyponatremia by impairing water excretion.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
