Send us Fan MailRichard is joined by renal consultant Dr Debasish Banerjee for a practical deep dive into sodium disorders and what those blood test results really mean in clinical practice.In this episode, we break down the interpretation of sodium levels — from hyponatraemia to hypernatraemia — and move beyond the numbers to focus on real-world decision making. Through case-based discussion, we explore key elements of history taking, red flags you shouldn’t miss, and when sodium levels become genuinely concerning.We also cover appropriate further investigations, common pitfalls, and how to manage these patients safely in primary care — including when it’s time to escalate.A must-listen for clinicians who want to get sodium right… because getting it wrong can go south fast.As always thank you to Scott for your supportHyponatraemia | Health topics A to Z | CKS | NICEhttps://cks.nice.org.uk/topics/hyponatraemia/Hypernatraemia Algorithm – GP Gatewayhttps://www.coventryrugbygpgateway.nhs.uk/resources/hypernatraemia-algorithm/Coventry and Warwickshire Training HubHome - Coventry & Warwickshire Training HubCollege of Paramedics https://collegeofparamedics.co.uk/UK KidneyUK Kidney Association | The leading professional body for the UK kidney community
