A member asked:
Could high amounts of sodium cause blood clots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clots and sodium: In general clots are not affected by high amounts of sodium. If one were to get dehydrated, which would predispose them to potentially having blood clots, and the person's sodium may appear artificially high on blood testing. However, the high sodium itself is not directly causing the clotting.
