Lupus itself is not directly related to low sodium levels, but certain medications used to manage lupus or complications from the disease can lead to hyponatremia (low sodium). Additionally, some individuals with lupus may experience kidney issues that affect sodium balance. It's important for patients with lupus to monitor their sodium levels and discuss any concerns with their healthcare provider.
