Generally, if an elderly person has sodium level go from 142 to 150 mmo/l in 24 hrs should anything be done & what? person on 120 mg furosemide bd

Volume: the sodium level is a paradoxic gauge for your volume status. When the sodium level is up such as in your case, it means that your volume or fluid status is low, and you could be dehydrated. However, you have quite medical complexities, and you should discuss this further with your doctor and don't make any changes without your doctor's approval ok?!
