Hyponatremia Calculator: Sodium Correction Rate

Hyponatremia—defined as a serum sodium concentration of less than 135 mEq/L—is a common and important electrolyte imbalance that can be seen in isolation or, as most often is the case, as a complication of other medical illnesses (eg, heart failure, liver failure, renal failure, pneumonia). “Hyponatremia Calculator: Sodium Correction Rate” is an app designed to help health practitioner to determine sodium correction rate for acute and chronic hyponatremia patient.

“Hyponatremia Calculator: Sodium Correction Rate” has several features, namely:
? Very easy, complete, and simple to use
? Precise calculation with commonly used formula
? Complete fluid selection for hyponatremia correction
? Recommendation of correction rate for acute and chronic hyponatremia
? Determine IV infusion drip rate (drops/min) of the selected fluid
? Feature to calculate current sodium deficit
? Determine increment of sodium level after administration of a given volume of specific fluid

Corrrection of hyponatremia varies according to its source, its severity, and its duration. “Hyponatremia Calculator: Sodium Correction Rate” app will help you to determine the correct correction. Acute hyponatremia (duration < 48 hours) can be safely corrected more quickly than chronic hyponatremia.

Disclaimer: all calculations must be re-checked and should not be used alone to guide patient care, nor should they substitute for clinical judgment. Calculations in this "Hyponatremia Calculator: Sodium Correction Rate" app might be different with your local practice. Consult to expert doctor whenever necessary.
