What does it do?

Sodium gluconate is an electrolyte component composed of sodium ions and gluconate. It is primarily used as a plasma substitute to help maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. It plays a role in regulating sodium concentration in the blood during fluid therapy.

In the body, sodium gluconate supplies sodium ions to maintain the electrolyte balance of the blood. Additionally, gluconate indirectly participates in energy metabolism, supporting cellular function. This helps to replenish plasma volume and maintain fluid stability.
