I Love the Electrolite, Sodium. It Is Not the Best Version of Sodium, Unfortunately.

The patient was eight days post partem with some mild immediately post partem bleeding, requiring one blood transfusion. She had dry mucous membranes and her cardio vascuan abdominal exam was normal. And her sodium was 152. So there are two primary ways that our body works to protect us from developing hypenatr one is drinking water, and two is retaining water. hyper natremia is often, but not always, driven by a breakdown in either of those areas.
