| Topic 34 | Sodium |
Sodium is one of the major chemicals of the body, found and taken into the body most commonly as table salt. When enough sodium cannot be excreted from the body by the kidneys, edema (water retention) and hypertension (high blood pressure) may result. Salt must be controlled by diet in patients with most types of kidney disease.
