What does a sodium level of 140 mean?

Normal sodium levels are usually between 136 and 145 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Blood sodium levels below 136 mmol/L may mean you have low blood sodium (hyponatremia). Blood sodium levels greater than 145 mmol/L may mean you have blood sodium levels that are too high (hypernatremia).

What does high sodium in dogs mean?

Hypernatremia is potentially life threatening and is caused by imbalances in water and sodium that occur from either water loss or sodium gain, often in the presence of inadequate water intake.

What is a dangerously high sodium level?

Doctors define hypernatremia as a measurement of over 145 milliequivalents per liter — a normal level is considered between 136—145 milliequivalents per liter. In healthy people, the brain automatically balances the amount of water and sodium in your body by controlling intake and output — getting thirsty or urinating.

What is normal dog sodium level?

Normal body sodium in both the dog and cat is approximately 140 mEq/L. If you look at your bags of intravenous fluids used in the hospital, the majority are isotonic and have a sodium content similar to that of the patient (e.g., most balanced crystalloid fluids have approximately 132-154 mEq/L of sodium in them).
