Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: Sodium is a vital electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance and ensures proper nerve and muscle function. It is closely tied to blood pressure and hydration levels.

Why get tested?

  • To investigate the cause of confusion, dizziness, or fatigue.
  • Monitoring patients on diuretics (water pills) for hypertension.
  • To assess hydration levels during severe vomiting or diarrhea.
