    1. See Sodium and Water Homeostasis
  3. Interpretation: General
    1. Normal: 135-145 mEq/L
    2. Abnormal
      1. Hypernatremia
        1. Serum Sodium over 145
      2. Hyponatremia
        1. Serum Sodium under 135
  4. Interpretation: Corrected Serum Sodium for Glucose
    1. Glucose draws water into the intravascular space via osmotic pressure, and dilutes Serum Sodium
      1. Measured Serum Sodium in hyperglycermia is a true Hyponatremia
      2. However the Serum Sodium corrects with normalization of Glucose
    2. Adjust measured Serum Sodium (sNa) upwards by 1.6 meq/L per 100 mg/dl increase in plasma Glucose
      1. Corrected Serum Sodium = sNa + 0.016 * (Serum Glucose - 100)
      2. Katz (1973) N Engl J Med 289(16): 843-4 [PubMed]
    3. Alternative equation suggests correction should be 2.4 meq/L per 100 mg/dl increase in plasma Glucose
      1. Although Hillier equation is thought more accurate, Katz equation is used most commonly

Serum sodium measurement (C0523891)

Definition (NCI) A quantitative measurement of the amount of sodium present in a sample of serum.
Definition (ALT) Analyzing a client/patient's blood, hair, urine and/or other sample to assess his or her serum sodium levels. Service is billed per test.
