medical experts, plz help!!!
Please come to a quick rescue of a Chinese college girl student (20 years old), who is suffering an unknown disease. She can not retain any sodium in her body. She keeps losing it. She is now hospitalized in Beijing. Doctors there can not tell why it happens and can not stop the lost. All they can do is prescribe salt in capsules for her to take in to supply the losing element needed in her body. And she has to minimize the water-taking, as she loses sodium in urinating.
It all happened four weeks before when she began to get ill like she was having a cold. She felt weak and had a fever. A doctor examined her and asked about her health history and the girl reported that she had suffered myocarditis when she was 14. The doctor concluded that her cold induced the outbreak of the past disease and prescribed some medicine by fluid infusion. However, she got worse after the injection: she had violent spasm and run into great danger. She then was transferred to a Beijing hospital and doctors there can not decide on her case, either. Now the girl looks quite pale and is very weak. She is losing weight increasingly. She has fever and occasionally it runs very high.
Can anyone help the poor girl?
I am very sorry that I can’t give sufficient information for her illness. I’m one of her teachers and I’m not in medical field. We are now in different cities: she is in Beijing and I am in Tangshan, 240 km apart. I am trying to collect the necessary data about her condition but it takes time. My appeal is to attract attention from advanced medical experts worldwide, who want to know more and have a golden heart to help the needed.
A thousand thanks!!!

The condition is called hyponatremia. There is no way to guess at the cause because the balance between water and sodium is complex, and affected by all sorts of things. It takes a series of tests to figure out the cause. These links contains more info:
