Description

The Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH) secretion may be drug-induced.


 

Clinical features of drug-induced SIADH:

(1) absence of SIADH prior to drug exposure

(2) development of SIADH after starting the drug

(3) disappearance of the SIADH after drug discontinuation

(4) exclusion of other causes of SIADH

(5) recurrence of the SIADH upon re-exposure to the implicated drug

 

Since many drugs are associated with SIADH, it is important to consider all medications that the patient is taking.

 

Classes of drugs associated with SIADH:

(1) selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI)

(2) tricyclic antidepressants

(3) other antidepressants

(4) antipsychotic agents

(5) chemotherapeutic agents

(6) antiepileptic drugs

(7) oral hypoglycemic agents

(8) angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors)

(9) thiazide diuretics
