Why decrease sodium when they’re deficient in sodium? Thanks for all your videos! Edit- wait, maybe restrict sodium because sodium makes you retain fluid???
I think that’s exactly why. I was wondering why there would be hyponatremia if we’re not peeing. Wouldn’t it be hypernatremia and excess water? But then again potassium shares an inverse relationship with sodium
Wait, I was just thinking about it and sodium makes you retain fluid and they have issues with fluid because kidneys aren’t excreting a lot of fluid so maybe that’s why? I’m watching her chronic kidney disease video now and she’s also saying to restrict sodium so I’m guessing it’s not an error when she says to do that.
And now I actually googled it and it said it can cause HTN (forgot about that one) and they can have HTN with acute and chronic kidney disease. But I guess now I’m confused how we increase the sodium levels since they’re at risk for seizures and confusion and stuff with low sodium…?
You can correct the sodium level and then maintain it by restricting sodium in the diet. Most foods nowadays are LOADED with additional sodium that we don’t need and it will add to their problems
Thank you!!
Very welcome!
Seizure precautions due to hyponatremia make perfect sense, wouldn't have made the connection without your video. Thanks Level Up RN.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊

3:51's subtitle. It is hypocalcemia, not hypercalcemia. Thank you
Thank you! I've submitted a request to have that caption changed! --Meris for Level Up RN
Thank you, Dr. Cathy.
thank you so much your videos have saved me so many times!
you are preparing me for my presentation tomorrow, thank you!
You are so welcome! Best of luck
Thank you for the useful video, I also have some kidney disease
So glad it was helpful!
It's helpful
Happy to hear!
Can you do a video on CAD please?
I had an ETV brain surgery and ended up with Cerebral salt eating syndrome and AKI stage 2.
Thank you
Thanks ❤
Thanks for watching! Please feel free to share a link to our channel with your classmates and friends in nursing school. ❤️
If the patient has hyponatremia why would we decrease there intake of sodium ?
That’s what I would like to know as well…..

because sodium makes you retain fluid, therefore it must be restricted or moderated

There is a new clinical trial for AKI
Thank you!
Welcome!
I need some clarification. In abnormal labs you mentioned hypercalcemia. In nursing care you mention low calcium.
She said hypocalcemia in abnormal labs, but the subtitles picked up the wrong word. I had to replay that too.
Thank you💜
You are so welcome!
AKI labs hyperkalemia, hyponatremia why nursing care should decrease sodium, phosphate, magnesium?
I have damage to kidneys from cyanide.
Help
Hii
Mem pkd cure till when is possible what reasearch is telling 🤔
Sodium is increased not decreased. The body is retaining more fluid and more electrolytes, including sodium
it decreases. sodium is being diluted due to excessive fluid retention
Correction, low calcium was mentioned in the quiz.
Thank you!
You bet!
