As what I know, pointing out the cause of losing sodium (hyponatremia) is not that difficult. The mechanisms of fluid and electrolyte balance of the body has been well defined and understood.It could due to any of the following causes: faulty water metabolism, renal related, adrenal gland related, thyroid gland related, gastrointestinal tract disturbances, side effects of some medicine and other substances,etc.
Anyway, the person you are referring to could possibly be one of the unusual or strange cases. I hope her doctors can arrive to what is causing her condition.
I also read your previous question posted and as what I can suspect, her condition is most likely associated with a certain kind of infection as she was having symptoms such as high fevers. I am not an expert and not qualified to give a medical diagnosis as I am not a doctor but I can suggest that it could possibly be due to a condition called "SALT-LOSING NEPHROPATHY". She probably had developed an "INTERSTITIAL NEPHRITIS" (a kidney infection). A kidney biopsy may be required to check on that.
Well, I am sure her doctors are doing all the ways to find what is causing her illness. They know much better than I do so let us hope that they will arrive to appropriate diagnosis and treatment to keep her going.
