also known as Electrolytes 3 panel - Urine
Our Electrolyte Panel is a specialized test that measures the levels of key electrolytes in the urine, including carbon dioxide (CO₂), chloride, potassium, and sodium. This test provides valuable insights into your body’s electrolyte balance, kidney function, and overall fluid regulation. Key Features: Comprehensive Electrolyte Testing: Measures four critical electrolytes in urine — CO₂, chloride, potassium, and sodium — to assess fluid and electrolyte balance. Kidney Function Insight: Helps evaluate how well the kidneys are regulating electrolyte excretion, providing essential information for diagnosing kidney or metabolic disorders. Fluid Balance Assessment: Aids in understanding conditions like dehydration, overhydration, or issues related to electrolyte imbalances, which can impact heart, muscle, and nerve function. Non-Invasive Collection: A simple urine sample is all that’s required, making the test easy and convenient. Who Should Consider This Test? Individuals experiencing symptoms like muscle weakness, cramps, irregular heartbeat, or excessive thirst. Patients with conditions that affect fluid balance or kidney function, such as kidney disease, hypertension, or chronic heart failure. People undergoing treatment for electrolyte imbalances or monitoring their kidney health. With the Electrolyte Panel, you can gain critical information about your body’s electrolyte and fluid management, allowing for more informed decisions about your health and treatment.
