Hi Everyone,
Mum was sent into hospital as an emergency on Friday due to her sodium levels having gone from 128, 129 and 124, she has incureable metastatic lung cancer and is taking a targeted inhibitor drug. She was already on a reduced fluid intake, after spending overnight in hospital they have reduced her fluid to 750ml and stopped her duiretic and blood pressure medications. It went up to 128 again. Now we are waiting to see what happens. They mentioned not wishing to do a transfusion as it can cause more problems and medication to increase sodium comes with bad side affects. Just so worried about Mum. Now to top it off my partner and myself have tested covid positive and I'm Mum's full time carer and we all live together. So far Mum is negative. Any advice on sodium levels would be so much appreciated.
Jane
