Corrected Sodium Calculator (Hyperglycaemia)

True sodium behind the dilution of high glucose — the Katz/Hillier correction DKA management leans on.

Corrected Na (Katz 1.6) (mmol/L)
Corrected Na (Hillier 2.4) (mmol/L)

Glucose drags water into the vessels and dilutes sodium — the 128 here 'corrects' to ~133.6 (Katz), changing the entire hyponatraemia workup. Hillier's experimental data suggested 2.4 fits better above ~400 mg/dL, which is why both are shown. As DKA treatment drops the glucose, watch the *corrected* trend: measured sodium will rise by design.

Formula

corrected Na = measured + 1.6 (Katz) or 2.4 (Hillier) × (glucose − 100)/100
Sources: Katz MA, NEJM 1973; Hillier TA et al., Am J Med 1999
