# Electrolyte Panel

> This test measures the levels of essential minerals in your blood, such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and carbon dioxide. These minerals are vital for keeping your body's fluid levels balanced and ensuring your muscles and nerves work correctly. Doctors use this test to check for dehydration, kidney function issues, or problems with your body's acid-base balance. While it identifies imbalances, it does not diagnose the specific underlying disease causing the abnormal levels on its own.
