- Blood test for analyzing the body's key electrolytes.
- Identify imbalances that may affect your health.
- Detect early signs of electrolyte deficiency or excess.
- Gain deeper insights into your mineral levels.
Electrolytes are minerals that influence several of the body's most important functions. The mineral analysis provides insights into the levels of the body's key minerals or electrolytes: sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and phosphate. Together, these markers regulate a range of critical functions, from fluid balance and muscle contractions to nerve signaling and acid-base balance. The electrolyte analysis also includes a medical evaluation to give you a better understanding of your test results.
An analysis of electrolyte levels can provide valuable information about your health, particularly for individuals experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, muscle weakness, heart palpitations, or in cases where conditions affecting the kidneys, hormonal balance, or fluid regulation are present.
The electrolytes sodium and chloride play a crucial role in regulating the body's fluid balance. Sodium is the primary electrolyte in extracellular fluid and helps attract water, which assists in controlling blood volume and blood pressure. Chloride works alongside sodium to maintain electrical neutrality and support fluid transport between cells. An imbalance in these electrolytes can lead to dehydration, swelling, or changes in blood pressure.
Calcium, sodium, and potassium are essential for muscles to contract and relax. Calcium acts as a signaling molecule released from the cell's storage compartments when a muscle needs to contract. Sodium and potassium create the electrical potential that drives this process through ion channels. Imbalances, such as low potassium (hypokalemia) or calcium Hyponatremia, can impair muscle function, leading to cramps, weakness, or paralysis.
Sodium and potassium are central to the nervous system's function as they enable the creation and transmission of electrical signals (action potentials) along nerve cells. This occurs through a finely tuned balance of sodium and potassium ions passing through the cell membrane via ion pumps and channels. This process governs everything from muscle movements to the brain's processing of information. Deficiency or excess of these electrolytes can result in neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling, confusion, or seizures.
Phosphate and other electrolytes play a key role in regulating the body's acid-base balance. Phosphate acts as a buffer, helping to neutralize acids and bases, which is crucial for maintaining blood pH within the narrow range of 7.35–7.45. This is necessary to preserve enzyme activity and cellular functions. Imbalances in electrolytes can alter blood pH, leading to conditions such as metabolic acidosis or alkalosis, which can cause severe health issues.
Symptoms of electrolyte imbalances can vary, but here are some common signs to watch for:
If you experience these symptoms, it may be beneficial to perform an electrolyte analysis to identify potential imbalances or abnormalities.
The markers of the kidney tests measure values of various kidney markers that can provide answers as to whether you have reduced kidney function. Get answers to your values - order and make an appointment for a blood test.
Minerals are non-organic compounds that are used as building blocks to build up parts of the body.
