AB Sodium  concentration  reflects  both  the  sodium  and  water  contents  of  the  body.Antidiuretic  hormone  (ADH)  is  one  of  the  primary  regulatory  hormones  for  sodium  concentration.  It  responds  to  the  changes  in  osmolality  and  intravascular  volume  to  restore  homeostasis  to  the  body.Hypernatremia  may  result  from:  Primary  sodium  excessHypovolemic  hypernatremiaHypernatremia  should  generally  be  corrected  gradually  to  avoid  the  complication  of  cerebral  edema.Aggressive  treatment  of  hyponatremia  may  lead  to  the  osmotic  demyelination  syndrome.
