Sodium means more or excess of salt in the blood. So this excess of salt in the bloodstream, effects the balance of the body fluids. this results to the poor ability of the kidney to remove water from the body.
With the increased volume of water in the bloodstream, it exerts pressure and strain on the delicate blood vessels, which increases the blood pressure of the body.
So if the Sodium level is high in the blood due to some disease of the kidney, it can result to more water retention, high volume of blood and so increased blood pressure.
