I don't see the list of values for runner #0358 — could you paste them here?

Meanwhile, here are the lab/measurement findings that would indicate a risk of (or presence of) hyponatremia so you can pick which applies when you share the data:

- Serum sodium < 135 mmol/L (the direct diagnostic value for hyponatremia; <130 mmol/L is moderate–severe).
- Low serum/plasma osmolality (<275 mOsm/kg) — indicates hypotonic hyponatremia.
- Large positive change in body weight during the race (weight gain vs pre-race), which suggests overdrinking and risk for exercise-associated hyponatremia.
- Very high fluid intake (e.g., >0.8–1.0 L/hour for many hours) during the event.
- Urine osmolality that is inappropriately high (>100 mOsm/kg, often >>100) if the runner cannot excrete free water (ADH effect).
- Urine sodium: a high urine Na (>30 mmol/L) with euvolemia suggests renal/ADH-mediated retention; very low urine Na suggests nonrenal losses.
- Urine specific gravity very low (<1.005) can indicate dilution from excess water intake (early overhydration).

If you post the actual values/options, I’ll point out which one indicates hyponatremia risk.
