Sign Up Corrected Na⁺
Hyperglycaemia causes movement of water out of cells into the CSF, resulting in pseudohyponatraemia. Expect a drop of 1.6mmol (1.6mEq) for every 5.5mmol/L (100mg/dL) increase in glucose concentration. This calculator corrects the sodium based on the glucose concentration
Corrected Na = Na + 1.6 (
Glucose - 5.6 5.6
)
