I can say that I learned more in 5 days of lecture compared to 4 years of Pharmacy school. The knowledge that I gain from the lecture didn't only help me with the exams but with my patient counseling as well. PassNaplexNow gave me hope and confidence for me to get ready for the exam and how to be a better pharmacist.
Blood tests are done to measure the sodium level. Usually, fluids are given intravenously to slowly reduce the sodium level in the blood. In hypernatremia, the body contains too little water for the amount of sodium (see Overview of Sodium). The sodium level in the blood becomes abnormally high when water loss exceeds sodium loss, as typically occurs in dehydration. Usually, hypernatremia results from dehydration (see Dehydration).
Sodium can be removed with the hydrogen form cation exchanger portion of a deionizer. Reverse osmosis will reduce sodium by 94 - 98%.Distillation will also remove sodium. major source of sodium in natural waters is from the weathering of feldspars, evaporates and clay. The American Heart Association has recommended a maximum sodium level of 20 mg/i in drinking water for patients with hypertension or cardiovascular disease.
