Hyponatremia and syndrome of inappropriate anti‐diuretic hormone reported with the use of Vincristine®: an over‐representation of Asians?

Abstract

Our data suggest that Asian patients may be at increased risk of hyponatremia and/or SIADH associated with vincristine use. Although the overall reported rate of SIADH associated with vincristine is very low, physicians caring for Asian oncology patients should be aware of this potential serious but reversible adverse event.
