© 2019 Elsevier Inc. Hyponatremia has been associated with an increased risk of demise in several malignancies. The aim of the current study was to evaluate its prognostic value in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. In 186 patients planned for docetaxel chemotherapy, we detected an association between hyponatremia and decreased survival (P = .04). We suggest conducting further well-designed studies including full workup of hyponatremia.

To estimate association between disorders of salt-water homeostasis on admision and the remote one-year prognosis for patients hospitalized with decompensated CHF NYHA FC III-IV. Materials and methods. This prospective study was based on clinical amnestic data and results of one-year follow-up of 111 consecutive patients admitted for decompensation of CHF to the State Clinical Hospital No. 24 in January 2015-February 2016. Results. The relative risk of death within one year for patients hospitalized for decompensated CHF with disorders of water and salt homeostasis increased 1.43 times by the end of one-year follow-up compared to patients with normal blood levels of sodium and potassium on admission (RR=1.43; 95 % CI: 1.10-1.87; p<0.01). Furthermore, the relative risk of death within one year was significantly increased 1.4 times in the subgroup of patients with hypernatremia (RR=1.41; 95 % CI: 0.99-2.01; p<0.05, respectively) and 1.4 and 2.3 times in subgroups with hypo-/hyperkalemia respectively (RR=1.39; 95 % CI: 0.93-2.07; p<0.05 and RR=2.23; 95 % CI: 1.04-4.78; p<0.01) compared to patients with normal blood levels of sodium and potassium on admission. Conclusion. Disturbed water and salt homeostasis on admission of patients hospitalized for decompensated NYHA FC III-IV CHF is a predictor for an unfavorable remote prognosis.
