A 68-year-old man developed severe consciousness disturbance after daily administration of 20 mg omeprazole for four days for the treatment of bleeding gastric ulcer. Systemic investigation revealed severe hyponatremia (111 meq/liter). Consciousness did not become clear until his sodium intake was increased to 480 meq/day, and his serum sodium concentrations reached 130 meq/liter. After the discontinuation of omeprazole, his serum sodium levels returned to the normal range with only minimum supplementation of sodium in the form of dietary sodium chloride intake of 10 g/day. Although the mechanism of hyponatremia induced by omeprazole is not clear, an excessive loss of urinary sodium appears to be more likely than water retention with an increase in fluid intake. The literature was also reviewed.
