Electrolyte panel

An electrolyte panel is a blood test that measures levels of important minerals—such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate—that help regulate your body's fluid balance, nerve signals, and muscle function. These minerals are essential for maintaining stable blood pressure, pH levels, and proper functioning of organs. The test helps identify imbalances caused by dehydration, kidney issues, or other health conditions, enabling doctors to diagnose and manage problems effectively. It’s a common, simple test that provides valuable insights into your overall health and how well your body's systems are working.
