An electrolyte panel is useful in assessing acid-base balance in a wide variety of medical conditions. Common symptoms of electrolyte imbalance include irregular heartbeat, confusion, fatigue, lightheadedness, blood pressure changes, muscle weakness or twitching, numbness, and seizures, all of which require prompt medical attention.

What is the Purpose of the Electrolyte ?

The Electrolyte Test is advised for following analysis:
  • Diagnosis: Diagnosis is the process of determining the cause of your symptoms.  An electrolyte panel can assist medical professionals in determining whether symptoms are caused by abnormal levels of these minerals, since electrolytes have an impact on many body functions.
  • Monitoring: The process of monitoring allows doctors to evaluate your health over time. It is possible to determine if treatment has restored abnormal electrolyte levels by repeating electrolyte testing. In addition, an electrolyte panel can help in detecting side effects associated with certain medications.

When is the Electrolyte Recommended ?

Whether you require an Electrolyte Panel will be determined by your doctor. If you take a test such as a BMP (basal metabolic profile) or CMP (comprehensive Metabolic profile), these measurements are typically included in the results. If you exhibit symptoms of a condition that might be associated with an Electrolyte imbalance, your doctor might advise Electrolyte testing. The following are a few signs that could indicate an Electrolyte Test: 
  • Weakness 
  • Fatigue
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Muscle twitching
  • Cramps
  • Paralysis
  • Nausea 
  • Vomiting

Preparation for Electrolyte

  • Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, there is no need for you to make any special preparations before the Electrolyte Test. 
  • Other blood tests can be carried out in addition to an Electrolyte Test. If your doctor advises you to have multiple tests at once, they may ask you to fast for a specific period of time prior to a blood test.
  • Drink adequate water before sample collection.
