An electrolyte test, also known as an electrolyte panel or serum electrolytes test, is a blood test that measures key electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate. These minerals are essential for nerve function, muscle contraction, hydration, and pH balance. Imbalances may indicate underlying conditions like kidney disease, dehydration, or hormonal disorders. The test is often part of a routine metabolic panel and helps guide diagnosis and treatment.
