Serum Electrolytes Price in Bangladesh

What is Serum Electrolytes?

The Serum Electrolytes test measures the levels of key electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate) in the blood. It's used to assess hydration status, kidney function, and acid-base balance.

Preparation typically involves fasting for 8-12 hours, but instructions may vary. The test is performed by drawing blood, which is relatively quick and minimally invasive.

Risks are rare but may include bruising or infection. Results are interpreted based on normal electrolyte ranges; abnormalities can indicate conditions like dehydration, kidney disease, or metabolic imbalances.

Certain medications or health conditions may affect the results.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
