What is Sodium?
A key electrolyte that controls fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve and muscle function.
Sodium Reference Range
These are the typical adult reference ranges used by major US labs. Your report will include the specific range used by the lab that processed your sample.
| Population | Range |
|---|---|
| age 18+ | 135 – 145 mmol/L |
Reference ranges are educational. Always interpret your result with the specific range printed on your lab report and discuss anything outside the range with a clinician.
What your Sodium result may mean
Often reflects dehydration or excess salt intake.
Can reflect overhydration, certain medications (especially diuretics), or hormonal conditions.
Educational only — not a diagnosis. Many factors can influence a single result. Discuss anything that concerns you with a healthcare provider.
