how do I read my blood test for sodium and potassium

i am assuming you do have your own lab sheet right there? they are pretty standard in just how they display the numbers. if you look to the left,you will see what was tested labeled there with YOUR lab values listed right after that. then you look wayyy over to the right? that has what the parameters should be within to be considered "within the normal range"? the nice thing about how these are displayed is if ANY of your labs values are too high or too low, it pops up with an "H" or "L" right in the very middle of the sheet for THAT particular test, you know what i mean? they do make this pretty simple these days. and i like the fact that they also list what it 'should' be too. i hope that helps.
