Despite correcting the hypernatremia, it still appears that her brain has been damaged.

尽管高钠血症得以纠正，但她的脑部还是有损伤。

大脑在急性高钠血症时萎缩，它会想办法代偿水的丢失。

But if you stop drinking water, or consume too much salt your cells will start to shrink, leading to the condition known as hypernatremia

All right, as a quick recap, hyperaldosteronism is the chronic, excess secretion of aldosterone from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland, and these high aldosterone levels can lead to hypokalemia, hypernatremia, hypertension, and a metabolic alkalosis.

得！简单回顾一下：醛固酮增多症是指肾上腺球状带长期分泌过多的醛固酮；这些高醛固酮水平可导致低钾血症、高钠血症、高血压与代谢性碱中毒。
