A 84 year-old woman presenting with evolving breast cancer was admitted in the intensive care unit for malaise. Profound hyponatremia in the context of symptomatic heart failure was documented. Intravenous infusion of NaCl 0.9% was unsuccessful. Treatment with oral urea was begun and sodium level returned to nearly normal values 5 days later.
