I don't think there's any such thing as "low-salt sodium". However, there is a "low-sodium salt", which is any salt that contains less sodium per serving than ordinary table salt, probably because it is combined with another type of salt which does not contain sodium. For example, LoSalt is only one third sodium chloride and two thirds potassium chloride
Common salt is naturally a low iodine salt. It is pure sodium chloride. Iodine is adding in common salt to get more nutritional benefits. Whereas the low sodium salt is a mixture of common salt with potassium chloride to reduce the danger of high BP induced by the sodium in the common salt.
what is the pH level of bleach (sodium hypochlorite)
“I am 62 with a testosterone level of 132. How does that compare with normal. What are the consequences of low testosterone?”
This will depend on the cause of such a low sodium level. Basically speaking, though, you can increase your sodium intake to raise your sodium level. However, if your sodium level is that low due to fluid overload, then taking care of the fluid overload problem would likely return your sodium levels to a more normal level.
A normal sodium level is 135-145. A low sodium level could indicate a variety of different conditions, as well as be a side effect of medications. You don't necessarily need to go to the hospital, but you should make an appointment with your doctor to discuss what could be causing the low sodium level.
You can get low water level in your cells.
low sodium level is called hyponatremia.drug causes hyponatremia are thiazide diuretics proleukin chlorpropamide benzthizide carboplatin
Sodium may lead to a serious build-up of fluid in people with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, or kidney disease. Such people should be on a strict sodium-restricted diet, as prescribed by their doctor. Hence blood sodium level is low in CHF. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002415.htm
Low sodium diets can be confusing. A low sodium diet means eating more foods that have low sodium contents instead of high ones. The nutriesystem diet is a low sodium diet.
The term for high blood sodium level is hypernatremia.
Eating low sodium foods is good for you.
Can low sodium cause extreme leg cramps?
120 is a very low number for sodium, and may result in seizure activity. The normal range for sodium is 135 to 145 mEq/L (millequivelents per liter.) Just to add to this, my sodium is 122 and my doctor said that this is very near critical. If you have a blood sodium level at 120 your doctor should be taking steps to correct it and find the cause.
Definitely not. The condition of having low serum sodium level or low concentration of sodium level in the blood is called HYPONATREMIA. It is common electrolyte disorder among athletes and elderly. Severe hyponatremia may cause headache, confusion, lethargy, muscle weakness, spasms, cramps, seizures, loss of consciousness and coma. So, it is important to maintain your sodium level within the normal limits.
