Pharmacology
Sodium chloride is the main cation found outside the cells. It helps keep electrolytes and fluid in balance, controls osmotic pressure and the way water is distributed in the body, and it does this by restoring sodium ions. Doctors use it as a source of electrolytes and water for hydration, to treat metabolic acidosis, as a priming solution in haemodialysis and to treat hyperosmolar diabetes. It is also used as a diluent for infusing compatible drug additives.
Sodium bicarbonate raises the pH of blood and urine. It breaks apart to give bicarbonate ions, and these neutralise the hydrogen ion concentration. It also neutralises gastric acid, producing carbon dioxide in the process.
