Is hypernatremia a dehydration?

Hypernatremia due to water loss is called dehydration. This is different from hypovolemia, in which both salt and water are lost [3]. (See "General principles of disorders of water balance (hyponatremia and hypernatremia) and sodium balance (hypovolemia and edema)".)

What is Hypoosmolality and hyponatremia?

Hyponatremia with hypo-osmolality of serum is produced by retention of water, by loss of sodium or both. It is always maintained by a defect in excretion of free water.

The ICD code E870 is used to code Hypernatremia

Hypernatremia or hypernatraemia is an elevated sodium level in the blood, specifically a serum level above 145 mEq/L. Hypernatremia is generally not caused by an excess of sodium, but rather by a relative deficit of free water in the body. For this reason, hypernatremia often coincides with dehydration.
