		Sodium is the major ion in the extracellular fluid, the total volume of which contracts as does the blood volume; the blood pressure falls and the heart rate increases.
		Sodium deficiency is a condition in which an organism fails to receive an adequate supply of sodium, an element that functions with chloride and bicarbonate to maintain a balance of positive and negative ions (electrically charged particles) in body fluids and tissues.
		Phosphorus deficiency is a condition in which an organism does not receive an adequate supply of phosphorus, a mineral vitally important to the normal metabolism of numerous compounds and (in solution) an acid that, with sulfur, must be neutralized by the base-forming ions of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

		Depending on intake of "free" water, hyponatremia (deficiency of sodium in the blood) and hypochloremia may ensue, such as in water overload, wasting, and trauma with sequestration of extracellular fluid as in burns.
		Deficiency of chloride alone leads to contraction of extracellular fluid volume and metabolic alkalosis which, in turn, leads to a deficiency of potassium by increasing urinary excretion of potassium.

	Sodium Information on Healthline
		Sodium deficiency is most likely to occur in cases of starvation, diarrhea, intense sweating, or other conditions that cause rapid loss of water from the body.
		While sodium deficiencies are rare, supplements may be required in people with certain medical conditions such as Addison's disease, adrenal gland tumors, kidney disease, or low blood pressure.
		People who wish to take sodium supplements or increase their sodium intake should talk to a doctor first if they have high blood pressure (or a family history of the disease), congestive heart failure (or other forms of heart or blood vessel disease), hepatic cirrhosis, edema, epilepsy, kidney disease, or bleeding problems.
