Electrolyte Imbalance in Oncology

Electrolyte imbalance in oncology refers to an abnormal level of minerals in the body, such as sodium, potassium, and calcium, often seen in cancer patients. This can result from the cancer itself, treatment side effects, or kidney function changes. Symptoms may include fatigue, confusion, muscle weakness, or irregular heartbeats. Managing these imbalances is crucial, as they can affect treatment effectiveness and overall health. Regular monitoring and appropriate interventions help maintain balance and support the patient's well-being during their cancer journey.
