mEq/l (Bruck‚ 2005). Sodium in the body is determined by how much salt is in the diet and how the intestines absorb it (Bruck‚ 2005). Sodium helps to maintain normal blood pressure‚ supports the work of the nerves‚ muscles‚ and regulates the body’s fluid balance. When the sodium level in the body becomes too low‚ extra water enters the cells and causes them to swell. This can lead to swelling in the brain‚ which is especially dangerous because the brain is in a confined space and cannot expand without
