Hypernatremia (High Level of Sodium in the Blood)
Treatment of Hypernatremia
Fluid replacement Hypernatremia is treated by replacing fluids. In all but the mildest cases, dilute fluids (containing water and a small amount of sodium in carefully adjusted concentrations) are given intravenously. The sodium level in blood is reduced slowly because reducing the level too rapidly can cause permanent brain damage.
