About This Test
The Electrolytes Blood Test measures the levels of the three major electrolytes in blood are Sodium (Na), Potassium (K) and Chloride (Cl). These electrolytes are essential for maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, muscle activity, heart rhythm, and acid–base balance.
This test helps to evaluate
1. Dehydration or overhydration
2. Kidney disorders
3. Heart diseases and arrhythmias
4. Acid–base imbalance (acidosis/alkalosis)
5. High or low blood pressure
6. Symptoms like weakness, confusion, muscle cramps
7. Effects of medications such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, steroids
8. Critical illness, vomiting, diarrhoea
9. Monitoring patients on IV fluids

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
