The Sodium, Random, Urine test is useful for assessing several clinical conditions related to fluid and electrolyte balance. These include acid-base balance, water balance, water intoxication, and dehydration. Sodium, being the primary extracellular cation, plays a crucial role in maintaining the normal distribution of water and osmotic pressure in the extracellular fluid compartment. The test helps in determining the body's sodium levels in relation to intake and output, which can be critical for diagnosing and managing various health issues.
