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

Serum Electrolytes is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Serum Electrolytes result rather than self-diagnosing.
