Sodium measurements are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of aldosteronism, diabetes insipidus, adrenal hypertension, Addison's Disease, dehydration, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, or other diseases involving electrolyte imbalance.

Sodium is an essential electrolyte in the body, and this test helps assess the balance of sodium levels in the bloodstream. Sodium plays a critical role in maintaining proper fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions.

When a person exhibits symptoms of low sodium, such as weakness, disorientation, or lethargy, a blood sodium test may be requested. If the sodium level drops too quickly, the individual may get weak and tired; in severe circumstances, the person may become confused or even coma. However, there may be no symptoms if the sodium level drops slowly. That is why, even if there are no symptoms, sodium levels are frequently monitored.

When a person shows signs of elevated sodium, such as thirst, dry mucous membranes, less frequent urine, muscle twitching, and/or agitation, sodium blood testing may be required. If the sodium level reaches to dangerously high levels, restlessness, illogical behavior, and coma or convulsions can occur.

Electrolytes are tested when intravenous fluids are administered or when dehydration is a risk. Electrolyte panels and basic metabolic panels are frequently requested to track the progress of treatment for illnesses such high blood pressure, heart failure, and liver and kidney disease.

No preparation required.
