What is ELECTROLYTES (Na/K)?

This blood test measures the levels of two key electrolytes, sodium (Na) and potassium (K), in your body. Electrolytes are essential minerals that help regulate nerve and muscle function, maintain water balance, and keep your body's pH level stable.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal levels of sodium and potassium can indicate various health issues, including kidney disease, heart conditions, dehydration, or certain medication side effects. Monitoring these electrolytes is crucial for diagnosing and managing these conditions.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
