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.

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Take a SMITH ANTIBODY (Sm) IgG Test or Take a MATERNAL SERUM SCREENING-1T QUAD WITH PRE ECLAMPSIA(PLGF+PAPP-A+FREE BETAHCG+AFP+NT) Test
