A sodium blood test is used to measure the sodium content in the blood. It is an electrolyte. These are electrically charged minerals. Sodium helps to control the proportion of fluid and maintains a vital pH balance in the body. It does this by maintaining the levels of acid and base in the body. High levels [hypernatremia] or low levels [hyponatremia] of sodium in the blood may be a sign of inefficient functioning of the bodily systems.
Thus, it helps in the proper working of nerves and muscles in the body.
Under ideal conditions, your body will maintain the levels of sodium in a narrow range. But if the levels are too high or low, it might indicate a kidney problem, dehydration, or perhaps another medical anomaly.
