quick questions about Na level in Low Volume states!

i was wondering what is the serum Na in Low vol states? Since aldosterone would kick in and increase reabsorption at DCT, it would increase. However, Dr. ******* (pass program) said that hyponat states accompanied with low vol states and he explained as dilutional effect. Can someone confirm this? And if this is the case would patients like to be in high depolarize states interm of cellular level? Since hyponatriema would cause more like to depolarize states according to Dr. ******* as well due to Ca and Mg rush into cell. Thanks for u time.
