Adjust measured serum sodium levels in patients presenting with high blood glucose to rule out pseudohyponatremia.
Elevated blood sugar levels draw water out of cells and into the bloodstream, diluting serum sodium concentrations. This tool calculates what the patient's sodium level would be if their blood glucose were normal, helping clinicians manage electrolyte imbalances safely during states like Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA).
Enter the patient's measured serum sodium level alongside their current high blood glucose reading. The tool corrects the sodium level, helping you avoid inappropriate hypertonic or hypotonic fluid strategies.
