Quantitating excess tissue sodium

Gautam Bhave. Clin Sci (Lond). .

Abstract

Using changes in tissue [Na+] concentration alone as done with Na+ MRI may not accurately quantitate excess tissue Na+, particularly in cellular tissues. However, individually quantitating alterations in tissue Na+ and water content as possible with ashing studies may still accurately quantitate excess tissue Na+ in these situations. Furthermore, when tissue [Na+] exceeds plasma [Na+], excess tissue Na+ must be present.
