Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study investigates the association between normalization of serum sodium levels and bone markers in patients with epilepsy and chronic hyponatremia.

The study is a randomized, single blinded, placebo controlled study where participants will be randomized to either treatment with salt tablets or placebo tablets through 4 months. At the beginning and end of the 4 months bone markers will be measured.

The investigators null-hypothesis is that there will be no difference in bone markers before or after the intervention.
