Electrolytes

An Electrolytes Profile is a blood test that measures the levels of key electrolytes in the body, which are essential for maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle activity. It typically includes:

• Sodium (Na⁺)

• Potassium (K⁺)

• Chloride (Cl⁻)

• Bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) or CO₂

This test helps evaluate hydration status, kidney function, acid-base balance, and is useful in diagnosing conditions like dehydration, heart disease, or kidney disorders.
