Preparation for the examination
General
- The material for testing is blood.
- The patient does not need to fast. It is recommended to drink a glass of water approximately 30 minutes before the examination.
Important
Factors that may influence the test result:
Taken medications, supplements, other substances: sodium salicylate, benzalkonium chloride, dyslipidemias.
In the case of determinations in urine, the test showed interference of more than 10% in the presence of sodium carbonate at a concentration of 1.25 g/dL, sodium fluoride at a concentration of 400 mg/dL and sodium oxalate at a concentration of 60 mg/dL at low sodium concentrations, 71 mmol/L. In the case of the pH range from 3.52 to 8.58 and the specific gravity range from 1.004 to 1.027, sodium at the tested concentrations of 40 and 220 mmol/L showed interference of ≤ 10%.
Note:
Dehydration, diet, alcohol, intense exercise or the method of sample collection may also influence the results. Results should be considered in conjunction with other data, such as clinical symptoms, results of other tests, or clinical diagnosis.
Interference from medications or endogenous substances may affect the results.
A detailed list of interfering substances is available from the laboratory upon request (manufacturer's instructions). If in doubt, please contact the laboratory staff.

Description
Sodium (Na) is an important cation in extracellular fluid. It influences acid and electrolyte balance. Abnormal sodium values: vomiting, diarrhea, fever, kidney disease, adrenal cortex disease (Addison's disease), vasopressin deficiency (diabetes insipidus), water and electrolyte imbalance, renal failure, and syndromes associated with polyuria and polydipsia.
Factors that may influence the test result:
Reduced sodium levels may be the result
excessive use of diuretics, prolonging
vomiting, decreased sodium in the diet and metabolic acidosis.
Elevated sodium levels may occur in Cushing's syndrome,
severe dehydration and when consuming large amounts of salt
without sufficient irrigation.

Ordering a test means consent to its performance using the indirect potentiometry method.
