Cortisol is the glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex that maintains sodium and
water balance. Therefore, reduced sodium levels in the client indicate a cortisol
imbalance. Additionally, depleted sodium levels in a client indicate hyponatremia.

balance. Calcitonin helps in regulating serum calcium levels.
