Why's a human's body cannot maintain the sodium level? What should we do in order to maintan the sodium level in our body?
My husband cannot pass urine for two weeks. The doctor said that operation cannot be done because the sodium level of his body is too low. But, he has been admitted in hosptal for more that 1 week, and the doctor still cannot find out why his body cannot maintain the sodium level.

The normal concentration of sodium in the blood plasma is 136-145 mM. If thesodium level falls too late, it's called hyponatremia; if it gets too high, it's called hypernatremia.
The concentration of sodium in the blood depends on the total amount of sodium and water in arteries, veins, and capillaries (the circulatory system). Thebody regulates sodium and water in different ways, but uses both to help correct blood pressure when it is too high or too low.
If the body has too little sodium (called hyponatremia), the body can eitherincrease sodium levels or decrease water in the body. Too high a concentration of sodium (hypernatremia), can be corrected either by decreasing sodium orby increasing body water.
