About test
What does SODIUM measure?
This test measures the level of sodium, an important electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance, nerve signalling, and muscle function. It may be used to assess hydration status and to help evaluate electrolyte changes associated with certain medical conditions or medicines. Sodium testing is often included in routine electrolyte or metabolic assessments. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings.
