👉 Hypernatrosis, also known as hypernatremia, is a condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of sodium in the body. It can be caused by several factors such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or certain medications. In this context, "hyper" refers to being above normal, and "natrium" refers to sodium. Hypernatrosis occurs when the concentration of sodium in the blood is higher than it should be due to a deficiency of another salt, such as potassium.
