Book a Test- Electrolytes (NA ,K , CL-)

Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals that play a crucial role in various bodily functions, such as maintaining proper fluid balance, regulating muscle contractions, and facilitating nerve impulses. The three main electrolytes found in the human body are sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and chloride (Cl-). These electrolytes help regulate the balance of fluids within cells, tissues, and organs. Sodium helps control the amount of water in the body, while potassium regulates muscle contractions and nerve impulses. Chloride, on the other hand, helps maintain proper fluid balance and is an essential component of digestive fluids. An imbalance of these electrolytes can lead to various health problems, such as muscle weakness, cramping, and heart arrhythmias. Electrolyte levels are typically measured through a blood test, and abnormal results may indicate underlying conditions, such as kidney disease, hormonal imbalances, or dehydration.
