The Electrolytes Test (Na/K/Cl) is an essential diagnostic test that measures the levels of critical electrolytes—sodium (Na), potassium (K), and chloride (Cl)—in the body. These electrolytes play a vital role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, muscle contractions, and heart health. By assessing sodium, potassium, and chloride levels in the blood, this test helps detect imbalances that may lead to serious health issues, such as dehydration, kidney disease, and cardiovascular problems. 

The Electrolytes Test provides healthcare professionals with valuable insights into your body’s fluid and electrolyte balance, guiding treatment decisions for a range of conditions.

Why Take the Electrolytes Test? 

If you are experiencing symptoms such as muscle weakness, confusion, fatigue, irregular heartbeats, or unusual blood pressure changes, it may indicate an electrolyte imbalance. The Electrolytes Test helps identify deficiencies or excesses in sodium, potassium, and chloride levels, which can have a significant impact on your health. Early detection through this test supports effective management and timely treatment of electrolyte-related disorders.
