Osmotic Demyelination syndrome (ODS) is classically been associated with rapid correction of hyponatremia. But sometimes, in some rare cases, we observe other causes of this syndrome.
Here is a list that encompasses other known causes of ODS
Hyperglycemia
Hypernatremia( acute formation)
Hypoglycemia
Hypokalemia( this is well known entity causing it)
Alcoholism( This is probably the most important one)
Liver disease and liver transplantation
Malnutrition( another important one)
Hypophosphatemia
Use of CNI( not sure of the mechanism of this one)
Lithium use
This article from AJKD is an amazing reference.
