What is the Sodium?
The Sodium test measures the level of sodium, an essential electrolyte, in your blood. Sodium helps regulate fluid balance, nerve function and muscle contraction, and is tightly controlled by the kidneys.
Why is the Sodium done?
Ordered as part of routine metabolic/kidney panels, and to investigate symptoms like confusion, weakness, or severe vomiting/diarrhoea that can disturb fluid and electrolyte balance.
It can help your doctor assess
Hyponatraemia (low sodium) and hypernatraemia (high sodium), often linked to fluid balance, kidney, or hormonal problems.
Who may need this test?
This test may be considered for:
- Anyone undergoing kidney or general metabolic screening
- People with symptoms of fluid or electrolyte imbalance
- Those on medicines like diuretics that can affect sodium levels.
Whether this test is right for you depends on your symptoms, medical history and the reason for testing - your doctor can advise.
What does this test measure?
The concentration of sodium ions in the blood.
Sodium
Electrolyte
Reflects the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance; both high and low levels can affect nerve and muscle function.
Understanding your Sodium results
How to read your result
Your report should be read using the reference interval, unit and method shown by the performing laboratory. A result outside a reference interval does not automatically establish a diagnosis, and a result inside the interval does not rule out every health problem. Clinical interpretation depends on symptoms, history and other findings.
| Marker | Result | What it may be associated with |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium | Low | Can occur with excess fluid retention, certain medicines (like some diuretics), vomiting/diarrhoea, or hormonal conditions affecting fluid balance. |
| Sodium | High | Usually reflects dehydration or, less commonly, excess salt intake or certain hormonal conditions. |
If a result is outside the range
If the Sodium is reported as high, low, positive, negative or otherwise outside the laboratory's stated interval, the meaning depends on the specific test and the reason it was ordered. Your clinician may consider repeat testing, related investigations or other clinical information before deciding what the result means.
Limitations of this test
An abnormal sodium level signals an imbalance but needs clinical context (symptoms, medicines, fluid status) to identify the underlying cause.
An abnormal result does not by itself mean you have a particular disease. Your doctor interprets results together with your symptoms, history and other tests.
Sodium normal range
| Parameter | Reference range | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium | 135 - 145 | mEq/L |
Typical adult ranges for guidance. Reference intervals vary with the laboratory method, age and sex - always read your result against the range printed on your own report.
How should I prepare for the Sodium?
- No fasting is needed - you can eat and drink normally.
- Drink water as usual - being well hydrated makes the blood draw easier.
- Tell the collection team about any medicines and supplements you take.
- Do not stop prescribed medicines unless your doctor tells you to.
- Follow any additional instructions our team shares when you book.

What can affect the result?
Fluid intake, certain medicines (diuretics), vomiting, diarrhoea, and some hormonal conditions can all shift sodium levels.
When should you talk to a doctor?
Laboratory results are interpreted together with your symptoms, medical history and other investigations. If your results are significantly abnormal, or you have symptoms that worry you, discuss them with a qualified doctor promptly.

Can medicines affect the Sodium result?
Some medicines, supplements, food, exercise and other pre-test factors can affect particular laboratory results. Tell the healthcare professional about medicines and supplements you take, and do not stop prescribed medicines unless your clinician tells you to.
