Re: sodium and postassium levels

[Guest guest]

Ranges vary so I don't think any particular number can be sure. My i-STAT top of

range for sodium is 146 and potassium, 4.9.

My hospital lab top of range 145 and 5.0.

They are close though. I imagine that our best number is where each of us feels

best?
