It may be due to common causes include diuretic use, diarrhea, heart failure, liver disease, renal disease, and the syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH) etc. Please get Serum Na+, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate,plasma osmolality,serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,blood glucose,urine osmolality,serum uric acid,serum cortisol,thyroid-stimulating hormone and plasma AVP then consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
