ELECTROLYTE

Overview

This test measures the levels of key electrolytes—sodium, potassium, and chloride—in the blood. Electrolytes play a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle activity. Abnormal levels can indicate various conditions, such as dehydration, kidney disease, and metabolic imbalances. It helps in diagnosing and monitoring disorders related to electrolyte imbalances, hypertension, and kidney function.
