low iron and sodium in labs before hernia surgery

daviwyatMember

Is it common for you labs work to be low in sodium and or Iron? I am getting ready for hernia surgery in 2 weekd. did my labs on Monday and my Iron was low. Do others have this issue,

Also before i got sick my sodium was always low by at least 20 points. my doctor never really determined why this was. Then at age 46 (2012)I had my first sign of UC and 30 days later my large intestine ruptured completely and they had to cut it all out.
Is there a relation to low sodium and UC?? or any thing??

Lots of folks here have low iron. Low sodium is a different issue, and I don't think it's connected to UC. You might need a better doctor to get to the bottom of that.

Our GI tests my daughters sodium often.
She said it is common for people who have
their colons removed to have low sodium.
She just has a urine test done and I make her
salt tablets out of empty gelatin capsules.
Her sodium was really low right after surgery and it made her feel bad. The salt pills really help.you could ask your doc about it.
