Sodium

A sodium blood test is used to detect an abnormal sodium level, including low sodium (hyponatremia) and high sodium (hypernatremia).

A sodium test is a usual part of routine health screening used to determine whether your sodium level is within normal limits. Elevated or depressed amounts of sodium in your body can have many adverse health effects ranging from as minor as thirst to as serious as a coma in incredibly severe cases. Monitoring the healthy level of this essential mineral is incredibly important to your overall health.
