Video Summary of Hypernatremia
Hypernatremia is a condition where the blood sodium levels are too high, specifically above 145 mEq/L. Having proper blood sodium levels is essential for the conduction of nerve impulses and the balance of water and minerals in the body. When the levels are too high, it can cause dehydration, seizures, coma, and even death.
