• As we age, our appetite and fluid intake may decrease.
• The use of certain medications, especially diuretics , which can stimulate the body to excrete large amounts of water through urination.
• Other diseases or health problems that may affect blood sodium levels, such as kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, etc.
• The skin is damaged by heat, which can cause the body to lose water.
• The baby is not getting enough breast milk or is drinking formula that contains a lot of sodium.
