How to determine the amount of sodium (natrium) in the human body

Dear friends!

    This article is focused on sodium (natrium) (Na), the trace element which is commonly known as table salt or soda.

This essential element is known since ancient times, yet the metal was derived just in 1807 as a result of experiments conducted by a Corhish chemist H. Davy.

sodium (natrium) is a silver-white alkali metal with a tendency to rapid oxidation in the open air.

This chemical element, present both in flora and fauna, takes part in the most processes of the vital activity.

It should be noted that sodium (natrium), qua its most common compound NaCl (salt), makes 2% of the total number of atoms of the earth's crust.

sodium (natrium) is used in various fields of industry, chemical processes, medicine and other areas.

The main function of sodium (natrium) is ensuring the energy metabolism of the processes within the body cells.

sodium (natrium), qua the extracellular ion,  is involved in maintaining the osmotic pressure of extracellular fluid, keeping acid-base balance, protein hydration, transmitting nerve impulses through the membranes of nerve cells and maintaining muscle cell activity, etc.

The symptom of hyponatremia (the lack of sodium (natrium)) can appear upon the following conditions:

- continuous reduction of sodium (natrium) intake;

- redistribution of sodium (natrium) between the extra-and intracellular space, which might be caused by a number of diseases;

- extrarenal water loss;

- under increased consuming of sodium (natrium)-free food and water, etc.

The lack of sodium (natrium) manifests itself through the following clinical symptoms:

- general weakness, stupor and apathy;

- nausea and vomiting;

- cramps and muscle convulsions;

- swelling and reduced venous and blood pressure, etc.

The other extreme is hypernatremia (the exceeded level of sodium (natrium)) which can be caused by a number of the following reasons:

- consuming food and water high in salt;

- low water consuming and water imbalance of the body;

- loss of water through lungs, skin and kidneys;

- sodium (natrium) retention in the body, etc.

The exceeded level of salt in the body manifests itself through the following symptoms:

- dryness and reduced tissue tone of mucous membranes;

- thirst and heart failure;

- muscular weakness and oliguria;

- drowsiness, stupor, etc.

That is exactly  why it is necessary to control the electrolyte balance of the body and systematically monitor the level of this major element.

Analyzing the requests made by the consumers, we have detected the following variations:

• how to determine the amount of sodium (natrium) present in the human body;

• how to determine the amount of sodium (natrium) in the human body;

• how to determine the amount of sodium (natrium) in the body;

• how to check the level of sodium (natrium) in the body;

• how to raise the level of sodium (natrium) in the body;

• how to increase the level of sodium (natrium) in the human body;

• how can I learn the level of sodium (natrium) in the human body;

• how the level of sodium (natrium) in the body can be determined;

• how to replete sodium (natrium) in the body;

• how to find out the amount of sodium (natrium) present in the human body;

• how to determine the limit of sodium (natrium) for a child and an adult, etc.

Answering the question of “how to determine the amount of sodium (natrium) in the human body?” we cal list a number of methods used in order to determine the amount of this trace element in organic samples, such as blood, urine, etc.

Yet, we would like to recommend you the innovative method for determining the bioelemental  status of the human body, based on simultaneous study of 33  trace elements, which could be done within a short time, and doesn't require complex clinical procedures and sampling.

The technique of coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spectral analysis) ensures the most accurate  measurements of the basic vital and noxious toxic trace elements followed by analyzing the obtained data, predicting problems which might occur in years to come and solving the current health problems.

    Toxic trace elements get systematically accumulated in the tissues, organs, bones and other body structures, therefore it is impossible to detect their exact presence through studies of the organic samples such as urine, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, etc.

It also applies to the detection of the vital trace elements when their exact quantity needs to be determined in order to build an overall picture of the bioelemental status qua the aggregate of vital and toxic elements.

    That is exactly why the unique laboratory of elemental analysis aimed at detecting and monitoring the presence of toxic trace elements in the human body of was launched within the Clinic of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in 2007. The service was initially meant for employees of the huge structure accountable to the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

    The spectral analysis (you can learn more about the method by clicking this link http://www.mineralogram.com/bioelementnyystatus.html) is a unique method which provides the most  accurate information both on vital and toxic trace elements, present in a human body, which makes it possible to study the wide range of indicators instead of focusing on a certain single chemical element.

You can look into an example of the study done through the method of the spectral analysis by clicking this link.

It is a matter of great importance, since the trace elements constitute a single system and the lack of some elements causes the accumulation of the others, which results in replacement of the certain elements with the other once.

    As you might see, our project is fully devoted to the spectral analysis and its principle with regard to health control. We will gladly assist you at every step of this study, elucidate the obtained results and, if necessary, advise you on how to restore the elemental status of your body.

Our experts will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the method of spectral analysis!

The uniqueness of this method makes it possible to study samples sent from any part of the world as a usual letter. It is a truly unique tool of the health control.

Remember that the systematic control over the vital sighs it is the major step on the way to well-being and longevity.

We would like to thank you for your kind attention!

Yours faithfully, 33 Elementa.Ru
