What Is the Normal Sodium Level for Adults?
Sodium is a mineral present in the body that has benefits, including maintaining the proper fluid balance in the body and the acid-base level in the body, regulating blood pressure and assisting in nerve conduction. While sodium is an important mineral, it can have adverse effects on the body when present in higher or lower than normal levels. The kidneys are responsible for regulating sodium levels in the blood and can be affected by sodium levels in the body. A simple blood test is all that is required to test for sodium levels in the body.
