What is ELECTROLYTES (Na/K/Cl)?

This blood test measures the levels of three important electrolytes: sodium (Na), potassium (K), and chloride (Cl). These minerals play a vital role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve impulses, muscle function, and the acid-base balance in your body.

Why is this test important?

Imbalances in these electrolytes can signal underlying health problems such as kidney disease, heart failure, dehydration, or metabolic disorders. This test is essential for comprehensive health monitoring and guiding appropriate medical interventions.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
