FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQs

What is the serum electrolytes test?

Electrolytes are essential minerals present in our blood, urine, tissues, and other body fluids.

These are electrically charged particles responsible for moving various nutrients in and out of the cells. Other functions of electrolytes include regulating our body’s water balance and acid/base (pH) level.

They also play a vital role in several biological processes, such as cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction and nerve conduction.

A number of tests are a part of the serum electrolyte test and help in examining the levels of sodium, potassium, and chloride in our body. We get these electrolytes from the food and drinks that we consume. The processes of reabsorption and urine elimination by the kidneys help in the maintenance of electrolyte balance.

When is the serum electrolytes test performed?

The serum electrolytes tests can be performed:

  • As a part of regular health checkups.
  • To track the efficacy of the treatment being given for the problem causing electrolyte imbalance.
  • To check for renal disease.
  • To analyze problems with the water supply or the body’s pH balance.
  • To keep a track of those receiving diuretic therapy, intravenous fluids, or dialysis.
How to prepare for the serum electrolytes test?

No preparations are required for the serum electrolytes test. However, before the test, do inform your doctor about any medicines that you are taking.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED

Interpreting the serum electrolytes test results

The serum electrolytes test is used for detecting electrolyte imbalance and acid-base abnormalities, especially in those who are hospitalized and are getting treated for various acute and chronic disorders.

The reference range for the tests used in the serum electrolytes test is mentioned in the table below:

SERUM ELECTROLYTES TEST NORMAL RANGE UNITS
Sodium 133-148 mmol/L
Potassium 3.8-5.6 mmol/L
Chloride 95-106 mmol/L

Low sodium levels (hyponatremia) are a result of excessive salt loss and can occur due to various reasons, such as diarrhea, vomiting, heavy sweating, heart failure, renal illness, etc.

On the other hand, high sodium levels (hypernatremia) are caused due to dehydration.

Hypokalemia (low potassium levels) occurs due to diarrhea and vomiting.

Hyperkalemia (high potassium levels) occurs due to renal illness, Addison’s disease, and dehydration.

Low chloride levels (hypochloremia) are caused due to Cushing’s syndrome or congestive heart failure.

High chloride levels (hyperchloremia) are caused by dehydration and renal illness.

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
