Clinical Significance
Electrolytes test is a diagnostic test that helps in determining the levels of electrolytes (salts and minerals) in the blood. Our body contains a lot of electrolytes viz sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, calcium, magnesium, phosphate and chloride.
Electrolytes play different roles in the body
Potassiumis an essential electrolyte for digestive and bone health. It helps to maintain the functions of muscles, heart and nerves.
Sodium helps in maintaining the fluid volume in body. Hyponatremia (lower than normal levels of sodium) is the most common type of electrolyte imbalance and is characterized by confusion, delirium, nausea and headache
Chloride regulates the level of body fluids. Hypochloremia is the condition when the body loses too much chloride. Hyperchloremia refers to the elevated levels of chloride in the body.
