Electrolyte Panel is a comprehensive test that measures essential minerals including sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate (CO2) to evaluate electrolyte balance and acid-base status. These electrolytes are crucial for maintaining proper fluid balance, nerve function, muscle contraction, and cellular processes throughout the body. Abnormal electrolyte levels can indicate various conditions including dehydration, kidney disease, heart problems, metabolic disorders, and medication side effects. This test is particularly valuable for evaluating patients with unexplained symptoms such as weakness, confusion, irregular heartbeats, or muscle cramps, and for monitoring patients on medications that affect electrolyte balance. The panel helps guide treatment decisions and assess overall metabolic health.
