About the electrolytes test
Electrolytes are the salts that keep nerve conduction, muscle contraction and heart rhythm working. Small deviations produce large problems: low sodium causes confusion, drowsiness and falls in elderly patients and is often mistaken for dementia, while abnormal potassium directly threatens the heart rhythm. Patients on diuretics for blood pressure or heart failure, patients with kidney disease, and anyone who has had days of vomiting or diarrhoea need this checked — and these are precisely the patients least able to sit in a lab queue.
