**2.4 Treatment**

Treatment depends on the severity of hyponatremia. In the case of patients with eating disorders, psychiatrists and nutritionists should be consulted and involved in treatment and care to facilitate discontinuation of purging, and excessive water drinking [6]. Some hospitals have developed protocols for treating such patients, including observed meals and caloric counting to ensure a smooth recovery when food is re-introduced and for prevention of refeeding syndrome [7].
