Abstract：Objective We aimed to research on the causes of senile cerebrovascular disease sequela patients complicated with hyponatremia, to facilitate the treatment process of the intervention. Method 80 patients with cerebral vascular disease sequelae from January 2012 to December 2013 in our hospital ward neural department of internal medicine were taken as the research objects. In terms of hyponatremia, they were divided into two groups: 32 cases in low sodium group, 48 cases in normal group. The related factors were analyzed. Results The main influence factors of senile cerebrovascular disease sequela patients complicated with hyponatremia is old age, being bedridden, nasal feeding, unconsciousness, combined with tumor, with pneumonia or respiratory failure, incomplete cardiac function in coronary heart disease, poor nutrition. The above factors were representative index (P<0.05). The clinical manifestations were mainly fatigue, anorexia, increase of disturbance of consciousness which accounted for 68.75%, 65.63%, 59.38%respectively, according to the incidences of qualifying are fatigue, anorexia, exacerbation of disturbance of consciousness, weak pulse, nausea, vomiting, cold extremities, dizziness, irritability, delirium and seizures. 32 cases were found in a timely manner. With timely supplement of sodium, 30 patients with hyponatremia were corrected, 2 patients with recurrent hyponatremia finally complicated with multiple organ failure, pulmonary infection were died. Conclusion The figure of elderly patients with cerebral vascular disease sequela of hyponatremia incidence is still high, the causes and severity of sequelae, complications, survival status are closely related, and the clinical manifestations were not specific. As for intervention on high risk factors of high-risk patients, the monitoring is the main means of prevention and treatment.
