The correction helps clinicians avoid misinterpreting hyponatremia in hyperglycemic patients.<br \/>\r\n<\/section><br \/>\nHyperglycemia can cause a dilutional effect on sodium levels due to osmotic shifts. The corrected sodium calculation helps determine the true sodium concentration by factoring in the excess glucose. The Katz method is commonly used and considered more conservative, while the Hillier method may be more accurate at higher glucose levels. This calculator requires only two inputs: measured serum sodium and serum glucose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This calculator estimates the corrected sodium level in patients with hyperglycemia using the Katz and Hillier methods.
