Density g/ml

sodium acetate density g/ml is an indicator of the mass of a substance per unit volume. Often used as a guide when preparing dilutions of chemicals or other materials.

In the body, sodium ions (Na+) form part of fluid and electrolyte balance as well as osmotic pressure. Sodium is also involved in nerve conduction, muscle contraction, acid-base balance and cell nutrient uptake.

It is metabolized in the liver to bicarbonate which in turn is excreted via the urine and feces. It may also be excreted in saliva, sweat, bile and pancreatic secretions.

Sodium acetate is a commonly administered intravenous salt solution for the treatment of hyponatremia. It is particularly useful as a source of sodium in parenteral fluids to prevent or correct hyponatremia in patients with restricted or no oral intake of sodium.

The product has been approved by FDA under sections 505 and 507 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for the treatment of hypernatremia and is a component in a number of currently marketed prescription drugs. The FDA-approved use is based on safety and effectiveness.
