Sodium Corrected for Glucose

Important Note

This is not an orderable lab test, nor is it performed by the laboratory. This calculated value is not currently supported in EPIC, but will be assessed during optimization.

Description

This calculated value is  not currently viewable in EPIC.  If needed, please use the following formula for manual calculation:

 

This calculation is intended only for DKA patients.  The result can be calculated from either a Point of Care or standard Glucose.

  • Glucose must be greater than 100.
  • Sodium must have been collected ± 20 minutes from the Glucose specimen.

Formula: Corrected Na = Na (mg/dL) + ((((Glucose (mg/dL) - 100)/100) x 1.6)
