What does high Sodium and Phosphate mean in blood test?

If your blood Sodium level is between 136 mmol/L to 145 mmol/L and the Phosphate level is between 2.4 mmol/L to 4.5 mg/dL, then your body does not have any underlying health problems. But if Sodium and Phosphate levels exceed these levels, you should see a doctor immediately.

The blood is usually drawn from a vein on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. Drink plenty of water before your appointment. If you experience any symptoms that you are concerned about are out of the ordinary, call your doctor immediately.
