A member asked:
Can the sodium level in an elderly person's blood rise 10 points in just 72 hours on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sodium Dehydration: Elevated sodium suddenly, in an elderly, is usually due to dehydration or poor PO intake. Also, it results from an occult infection, for example urinary tract infection. Get blood & urine checked, please.
