A patient who consumed large amounts of ayahuasca over three days during a satanic ritual developed severe complications, including coma (Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3), seizures, and suicidal ideation. Laboratory tests revealed hypoosmolar hyponatremia caused by syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). After supportive care in the intensive care unit, the patient recovered within four days. The authors suggest that ayahuasca's active compounds, similar to monoamine oxidase inhibitors and MDMA, may trigger SIADH.
