Hyponatremia means your sodium is too low. There are several types of hyponatremia. Normovolemic means you have a normal fluid balance and opposed to being hypovolemic which would mean you were dehydrated.

Einstein was a pantheist. He didn't believe in a personal god, although his quote "God doesn't play dice with the universe" has been misused by Christians ever since he uttered it. Animals do not have the intellectual capacity for self-awareness, we do. That's why we are always seeking a purpose to things. That doesn't mean there is a purpose to everything, some stuff just happens. I am far happier now that I don't attribute some divine malevolence to natural occurrences on this planet. There is a logical, natural explanation to everything even if you can't see it. I define what has meaning in my life. I make my own purpose. We all do, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.

Hyponatremia is defined as serum sodium (Na) concentration of less than 135 mEq/L. Whereas hypernatremia always denotes hypertonicity, hyponatremia can be associated with low, normal, or high tonicity. Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality encountered in clinical practice, with an incidence of 1.5% of all pediatric hospital admissions.
Symptoms and signs of hyponatremia are related to the absolute level and to the rate at which serum Na levels decrease from baseline. Symptoms are not correlated with specific serum Na levels. However, they most frequently occur when the serum Na concentration is less than 125 mEq/L. Although morbidity varies widely in severity, serious complications can arise from the disorder itself or during treatment. Understanding the pathophysiology and treatment options is important because the morbidity and mortality of untreated hyponatremia are clinically significant.

It means what it says, but the reason it's specified is that the usual expectation in hyponatremia is that of normal total body sodium and an excess of free water.

the prob is on the amount of Na. hyponatremia can occur if there is increased blood volume (hypervolemia) and no change in Na levels. think of dilution. but with normovolemic, no change in blood volume and decreased Na blood levels

Normal blood volume. Lessened sodium content in blood.
