Multiple endocrine neoplasia:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Treatment must eradicate the tumors. Subsequent therapy controls residual symptoms. In MEN I, peptic ulceration is usually the most urgent clinical feature, so primary treatment emphasizes control of bleeding or resection of necrotic tissue. In hypoglycemia caused by insulinoma, oral administration of diazoxide or glucose can keep blood glucose levels within acceptable limits. Subtotal (partial) pancreatectomy is required to remove the tumor. Because all parathyroid glands have the potential for neoplastic enlargement, subtotal parathyroidectomy may also be required along with transsphenoidal hypophysectomy. In MEN II, treatment of an adrenal medullary tumor includes antihypertensives and resection of the tumor. Bromocriptine may be used for pituitary tumors that secrete prolactin. Hormonal replacement therapy is necessary when glands are removed or secretion is inadequate.

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Treatment for SIADH is symptomatic and begins with restricted water intake (500 to 1,000 ml/day). Some patients who continue to have symptoms are given a high-salt, high-protein diet or urea supplements to enhance water excretion. They may also receive demeclocycline or lithium to help block the renal response to ADH. With severe water intoxication, administration of 200 to 300 ml of 5% saline may be necessary to raise the serum sodium level. When possible, treatment should include correction of the underlying cause of SIADH. If SIADH is due to cancer, success in alleviating water retention may be obtained by surgical resection, irradiation, or chemotherapy.

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone:
Treatment
(Handbook of Diseases)
Symptomatic treatment begins with restricted water intake (500 to 1,000 ml/day). With severe water intoxication, administration of 200 to 300 ml of 3% saline solution may be necessary to raise the serum sodium level.
When possible, treatment should include correction of the underlying cause of SIADH. If SIADH results from cancer, success in alleviating water retention may be obtained by surgical resection, irradiation, or chemo-therapy.
If fluid restriction is ineffective, demeclocycline may be helpful by blocking the renal response to ADH.
