Sodium Correction in Hyperglycemia Calculator
Sodium Correction in Hyperglycemia Explanation and Clinical Context Sodium correction in the setting of hyperglycemia is essential because elevated serum glucose increases plasma osmolality and shifts water from the intracellular compartment into the extracellular compartment. This movement dilutes serum sodium and leads to a factitious reduction in the measured value. Correcting sodium helps clinicians assess the tr
