Test: Serum Electrolytes
Parameters: 3Serum Electrolytes Test By Thyrocare
Electrolytes help regulate fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function. This test is commonly used to check for electrolyte imbalance and support clinical evaluation when symptoms or risk factors suggest imbalance.
Why a Serum Electrolytes Test is done
A serum electrolytes test supports the evaluation of electrolyte balance in the body. It may be used during routine health screening or when a clinician wants to assess dehydration risk, medication effects (for example, diuretics), or symptoms that can be associated with imbalance.

Important: Results should always be interpreted in clinical context. If you have severe symptoms (fainting, chest pain, breathing difficulty, confusion), seek urgent medical care.
