Sodium
Sodium is a clinical biomarker on the Kidneys panel, reported in mEq/L. Standard reference range: 135–146 mEq/L. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 139–143 mEq/L.
What is Sodium?
Sodium is the primary extracellular cation governing osmolality, fluid balance, and neuromuscular function; its level is tightly regulated by ADH and aldosterone.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (mEq/L) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | 135–146 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 139–143 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Sodium
SomaVue maps every result for Sodium against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
