Your sodium level is in the normal range, indicating healthy fluid balance in your body. Your kidneys are effectively regulating the water-to-sodium ratio.
Very low sodium (noticeable hyponatremia) may contribute to your brain cells to swell with water, leading to confusion, seizures, and loss of consciousness. This is a life-threatening emergency — the brain literally swells inside the skull.
Call emergency services or go to the ER immediately. noticeable hyponatremia requires carefully controlled intravenous treatment in hospital — do not attempt to fix this at home.
Sodium: {{value}} {{unit}} — very low (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Low sodium (hyponatremia) disrupts every cell in your body because sodium controls water balance in tissues. Causes include drinking too much water, heart failure, liver disease, kidney disease, and certain medications (especially diuretics).
See your doctor promptly. The cause must be identified — treatment depends entirely on why sodium is low, so don't just add more salt without guidance.
Sodium: {{value}} {{unit}} — below reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})A borderline low sodium is often caused by mild overhydration, diuretic medication, or a diet very low in salt. You may experience mild fatigue or slight headaches.
Discuss with your doctor, especially if you're on diuretics. A modest dietary sodium increase or medication adjustment may be all that's needed.
Sodium: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline lowYour sodium level is in the normal range, indicating healthy fluid balance in your body. Your kidneys are effectively regulating the water-to-sodium ratio.
No action needed. Stay normally hydrated — neither overdrinking nor dehydrated.
Sodium: {{value}} {{unit}} — within reference rangeYour sodium sits right in the middle of the healthy range, reflecting well-regulated fluid balance and healthy kidney function.
No action needed. Maintain good hydration and a balanced diet.
Sodium: {{value}} {{unit}} — optimalA mildly elevated sodium most often reflects mild dehydration — the blood is slightly more concentrated than usual. It can also be from high salt intake.
Increase your water intake. Avoid excess salt and alcohol. If it persists, your doctor should evaluate kidney and adrenal function.
Sodium: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline highHigh sodium (hypernatremia) means your blood is too concentrated, causing cells to shrink. This can cause confusion, weakness, and in noticeable cases, brain damage. Dehydration is the most common cause, but diabetes insipidus and adrenal issues are also possible.
See your doctor. Carefully supervised rehydration and identification of the underlying cause are needed.
Sodium: {{value}} {{unit}} — above reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})At this level, your body is very dehydrated or there is a critical failure of fluid regulation. Brain cells are shrinking, which can cause permanent brain damage, seizures, and death if not corrected carefully.
This needs urgent medical attention. Go to the ER immediately. Rapid correction can be as dangerous as the condition itself, so this requires expert hospital management.
