From 1976 to 1980,18 of the 250 patients (7%) seen with small cell carcinoma of the lung had clinically evident inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Hyponatremia was usually severe (1 16 f 7 meq/l), and eight patients showed symptoms of water intoxication at the time of diagnosis.
