Created page with 'Sodium of normal reptiles generally varies between 120 and 170 mmol/l and varies between species. Hypernatraemia will occur with dehydration (inadequate uptake or excessive loss)…'

New page

Sodium of normal reptiles generally varies between 120 and 170 mmol/l and varies between species. Hypernatraemia will occur with dehydration (inadequate uptake or excessive loss). Hyponatraemia will occur with gastrointestinal loss (diarrhoea).

 The total body content of sodium is regulated rather than the actual plasma concentration.  It would be impossible to regulate actual plasma concentration for 3 reasons:
 * When sodium is reabsorbed water follows it so the volume of the plasma is altered rather than the concentration of sodium changing

	It is very important to regulate the bodies sodium level. If it falls too low then water and ECF volumes also fall and sodium dependant transporters are also disturbed. If it rises too far the transport systems are still disturbed but body water and ECF volume increases. Sodium is therefore maintained within near constant parameters. With the amount being excreted/lost corresponding to that ingested. Salt intake is not really regulated and thus it falls to the kidneys to maintain salt levels via excretion.
