Notice
Laboratory test results must always be interpreted in the context of the patient’s medical history, clinical condition, and the results of other laboratory and diagnostic tests. Deviations from normal values are not sufficient on their own to establish a diagnosis, and values within the normal range do not always mean that a disease is absent. It is advisable to consult a doctor about the results.

What interests you about the Sodium test?
What is high in sodium?
Sodium can be found in all salted foods, including canned vegetables, sauerkraut, cured meats, packaged snacks, and salsa. The most sodium is found in table salt, of course, but also in sunflower seeds and anchovies.
How to replenish sodium in the body?
Sodium is an electrolyte that plays an important role in the body's ability to retain or release water, so it is important to monitor its content. You can easily replenish it with delicious smoothies and juices, coconut water, watermelon, banana or avocado. Milk is also rich in sodium.
How to reduce sodium levels in the blood?
If you need to reduce sodium levels in blood, change your lifestyle and diet:
- eat mostly fresh, not industrially processed foods;
- choose products with a low sodium content (less than 100 g of sodium);
- use herbs and spices rather than salt to season food.
How do I know if I have a salt deficiency?
You can easily recognize a lack of salt in your blood by the following symptoms: weakness, fatigue and/or lack of energy, headache, nausea and vomiting, muscle cramps and irritability. In extreme cases, loss of consciousness, seizures, coma or death can occur.
