Options
A.more sodium in his urine
B.less amino acids in his urine
C.more glucose in his blood
D.less urea in his urine
Solution
The normal concentration of sodium in the blood plasma is 150 m Eq/ L. If this level deops below 120 mEq/L, the result may be lethargy, coma or death. Unlike deficiencies of other important fluid constituents, the most common cause of this drop in sodium concentration is not a nutritional deficit of sodium, but rather an excess of water.
