Sodium (Na) Price in Bangladesh

What is Sodium (Na)?

Sodium (Na) is an essential electrolyte in the body that helps regulate fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve and muscle function. It is primarily found in the extracellular fluid and is crucial for maintaining proper hydration and cellular function.

Sodium levels are typically measured through a blood test, and normal levels range from about 135 to 145 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). Abnormal sodium levels can indicate conditions like dehydration, kidney disease, or hormonal imbalances.

Low sodium (hyponatremia) or high sodium (hypernatremia) levels can lead to serious health issues and require medical attention.

What to expect & how to prepare

Sodium (Na) is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Sodium (Na) result rather than self-diagnosing.
