Mechanisms Of Sodium Retention In Nephrotic Syndrome : Present Opinion In Nephrology And Hypertension
It is a soluble white compound, with a slight alkaline taste resembling that of sodium carbonate. It is identified in many mineral springs and also developed artificially. There are 13 identified isotopes of sodium, of which the only stable a single is 23Na. Sodium has two radioactive cosmogenic isotopes—that is, isotopes produced when high-energy cosmic rays interact with the nuclei of sodium atoms. They are 22Na, with a half-life of two.605 years, and 24Na, with a half-life of about 15 hours. Under intense pressure, sodium departs from normal rules for changing to a liquid state.
