Cystic disease of the liver is rare and can take several forms. Cysts in the main trunk of the biliary tree are called choledochal cysts. Cysts that occur in the small branches of bile ducts within the liver are referred to as Caroliâs syndrome.
Low sodium levels in the blood occur when there is a lower than normal concentration of sodium in the blood. This is a condition often referred to as hyponatremia. Sodium is an electrolyte that helps maintain blood pressure and helps regulate nerve and muscle function. Low sodium levels can cause symptoms including confusion, lethargy, and cramping, which are usually brought on by other medical conditions or illnesses. Low sodium levels in the blood can occur due to a number of causes and conditions that can be detected.
Primary symptoms associated with too much or too little sodium affect the nervous system and include confusion, lethargy and muscle twitching. Alterations in sodium are connected to changes in the amount of water in the blood because sodium draws water. Decreased sodium lowers blood volume, causing the blood pressure to drop and the heart rate to increase. Sodium increases raise blood volume and cause fluid to accumulate, forcing your heart to work harder.
