Serum electrolytes test is a group of tests that measure the level of electrolytes in the body. Serum electrolytes like sodium, chloride, potassium and bicarbonate help maintain the body's metabolism. The sodium in the blood helps keep the body’s fluid balance and also helps in the proper functioning of nerves and muscles. Chloride content in the blood helps in maintaining the blood volume and pressure. The potassium present in the blood helps in keeping your heart healthy and the bicarbonate helps maintain the body’s acid balance.
In general, serum electrolytes normal values are as follows:
Sodium: 136 to 144 mmol/L.
Potassium: 3.7 to 5.1 mmol/L.
Calcium: In adults, 8.5 to 10.2 mg/dL.
While electrolytes normal range can vary in different individuals, it is important to keep a check on the balance of serum electrolytes in the body for its proper functioning.
