Sodium [Moles/volume] in Urine from Fetus
Active
Term Description
Fetal urine analysis for various biochemicals can indicate abnormalities in renal function prior to birth. Testing performed in the early stages of development can help catch early warning signs of renal issues that could potentially be corrected or help make decisions for the unborn child's care. PMID: 1547172 PMID: 25412852 Urine is collected while the fetus is in utero by vesicostomy or fetal cystoscopy. Results are stored in the mother's chart and distinctive from the mother's results.
Part Description
LP15099-2 Sodium
Sodium (Na) is a positively charged electrolyte and a mineral. Eighty-five percent of Na is located in the blood and lymph fluid. The hormone aldosterone that is secreted by the adrenal glands helps to regulate Na levels by signaling the kidneys to either retain or secrete it. Damage or disease to the kidneys can lead to dangerous fluctuations of sodium. Na plays a number of key roles in the homeostasis of the human body. It helps to maintain blood volume by osmotically pulling water into the blood vessels. Too much sodium in the blood may cause too much water to be brought into the blood vessels and lead to high blood pressure. Muscles and nerves conduct electrical impulses that require charged particles including Na. The electrical currents cause muscle cells to contract and nerve cells to relay electrical signals between them. Too little sodium can lead to muscle spasms, cramps, headache, irritability, restlessness, nausea and fatigue. Extreme hyponatremia can lead to confusion, hallucinations, decreased consciousness and coma. Conversely, hypernatremia can cause lethargy or restlessness, deep tendon reflexes, muscle spasticity and seizures.
