Hormonal Changes
Addison’s disease, also known as adrenal gland insufficiency, can affect your adrenal glands’ capability to generate some important hormones. These substances play a key role in maintaining the balance of sodium, water, and potassium in your blood. In addition, a low level of thyroid hormone can result in low blood-sodium content. There are many causes of hormonal changes, such as medical conditions or medication side effects. It is important to know that women are typically more affected by this factor than men. [8]
