In-patient Tolvaptan use in SIADH: Care audit, therapy observation and outcome analysis

A sodium level relapsing below the treatment threshold by 1 week after discontinuation was a valid indicator of a patient group with re-treatment/longer-term therapy needs, all of whom had underlying malignancy. In addition, the criteria set locally for initiating Tolvaptan use identified a group where they recommended considering further investigation for underlying malignancy.
