What is SODIUM, SERUM?

This test measures the amount of sodium in your blood serum. Sodium is an essential electrolyte that plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction in your body.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal sodium levels (too high or too low) can indicate various health issues, including dehydration, kidney problems, heart failure, or certain hormonal imbalances. Monitoring sodium levels helps in diagnosing and managing these conditions, ensuring proper body function.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
