Hypoosmolar hyponatremia is a condition where hyponatremia is associated with a low plasma osmolality.[1] The term "hypotonic hyponatremia" is also sometimes used.[2]

When the plasma osmolarity is low, the extracellular fluid volume status may be in one of three states: low volume, normal volume, or high volume.
