A member asked:
What should i do if someone who has kidney failure was given soduim?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends.: Check for hypertension or swelling or shortness of breath. If any of them develop the person needs to be treated with a diuretic to eliminate the sodium load. If not present just allow time to fix it but avoid any further high sodium intake. If already on dialysis an additional treatment may be required.
