What causes high Sodium and low Packed cell volume?

High Sodium and low Packed cell volume can be caused by many reasons.

If your Sodium is in between 136 mmol/L and 145 mmol/L and your Packed cell volume is in between 41 % and 49.5 % then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Sodium and Packed cell volume respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.
