Which failure increases risk of osmotic demyelination following rapid hyponatremia correction?

💡 Explanation

Increased aquaporin channel expression accelerates water influx into brain cells during correction of hyponatremia with osmosis; therefore, astrocytes swell excessively, leading to demyelination because of cellular damage, rather than protection from ionic changes.
