Know More about SODIUM, SERUM
A sodium blood test determines the level of sodium in one’s blood. Sodium is an important mineral that regulates fluid balance, nerve impulses, and muscle contractions. The sodium blood test helps diagnose dehydration, kidney problems, heart problems, or hormone imbalance. The sodium blood test also monitors the effects of some medications. Knowing sodium levels helps the doctor properly diagnose and manage medical problems.
Process
- The health professional cleans the skin and inserts a needle into a vein.
- Blood is collected in a small tube.
- The needle is removed, and the sample is sent to a laboratory to examine the sodium levels.
When to get tested
It's important to the doctor about a sodium blood test if one have any symptoms, such as confusion, weakness, dizziness, or you are experiencing a medical condition that causes levels of sodium to be unstable or if you are taking medication that could impact electrolyte levels.
Sample Type
A sodium blood test requires a small blood sample usually from a vein of the arm.
Test Preparation
While hydration is necessary before the test, fasting isn’t required. If you take medications that could affect sodium levels, let your doctor know prior to the blood test.
Understanding Your Results
Normal sodium levels range from 135 to 145 mEq/L. Low and high results may indicate hydration issues, kidneys, or other issues, and may require further tests or treatment.
