What does high Sodium and Packed cell volume mean in blood test?

High Sodium and Packed cell volume can be caused by numerous problems.

High levels of Sodium and Packed cell volume in the blood indicate a variety of health problems. If your blood Sodium level is between 136 mmol/L to 145 mmol/L and the Packed cell volume level is between 41 mmol/L to 49.5 %, then your body does not have any underlying health problems. But if Sodium and Packed cell volume levels exceed these levels, you should see a doctor immediately.
