Sodium (Na+) (BC0111)

Description

Sodium (Na⁺) is a blood test used to measure the concentration of sodium, a vital electrolyte responsible for maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle activity. It plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and acid–base balance. Abnormal sodium levels may indicate dehydration, kidney disease, heart failure, adrenal disorders, or electrolyte imbalance. Sodium testing is commonly performed as part of an electrolyte panel or basic metabolic profile.
