Get a Serum Electrolytes panel (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride) at VRX Diagno Lounge, Goregaon West used to evaluate dehydration, kidney function, diuretic therapy, and emergencies like vomiting, diarrhoea, or muscle weakness. No fasting needed. Pathologist-reviewed report by evening. 24×7 home collection.
Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride are the major electrolytes in plasma they govern fluid balance, nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and acid-base status. Imbalances are common in dehydration, vomiting, diarrhoea, kidney disease, heart failure, and patients on diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or steroids. The test is also a routine baseline before surgery, IV fluid therapy, and in any acutely ill patient.
Raised sodium with raised urea points to volume depletion from vomiting, diarrhoea, or fever
Common in elderly, heart failure, SIADH, and on diuretics can cause confusion or seizures
Risk of cardiac arrhythmia common in CKD, ACE-inhibitor use, and adrenal insufficiency
Causes muscle weakness, cramps, palpitations common with diuretics, vomiting, diarrhoea
Chloride pattern helps differentiate metabolic acidosis types
Routine in patients on furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, ACE/ARB, and lithium
Especially when prolonged or severe to assess fluid and electrolyte loss
Periodic monitoring is essential to detect potassium and sodium loss
Electrolyte imbalances are very common in CKD and dialysis patients
On loop diuretics monitor sodium and potassium regularly
Insulin therapy and DKA both shift potassium dangerously
Routine baseline before any major procedure
Particularly in elderly to rule out hyponatraemia
Especially in patients on diuretics or with chronic GI losses
| Parameter | What It Measures | Reference Range |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium (Na⁺) | Major extracellular cation fluid balance | 135–145 mmol/L |
| Potassium (K⁺) | Major intracellular cation cardiac/muscle function | 3.5–5.0 mmol/L |
| Chloride (Cl⁻) | Major anion acid-base partner of bicarb | 98–107 mmol/L |
| Critical Low K⁺ | Cardiac risk | < 3.0 mmol/L |
| Critical High K⁺ | Cardiac arrhythmia risk | > 6.0 mmol/L |
| Critical Low Na⁺ | Risk of confusion / seizure | < 125 mmol/L |
Electrolytes within reference ranges support normal fluid and acid-base balance. Continue routine yearly screening if you have risk factors.
Abnormal values can result from dehydration, kidney issues, medications, or hormonal disorders. Critical values (very high K⁺ or very low Na⁺) warrant urgent attention. Your physician will correlate with symptoms and history.
Every report is reviewed by an experienced pathologist with clear interpretation and clinical comment.
If further evaluation is needed KFT, ABG, Aldosterone/Renin, ECG (for K⁺ abnormality), Adrenal panel all available at the Goregaon West centre.

Truly appreciated the personal attention and professional approach during my aqua therapy sessions. The physiotherapist explained everything clearly. Highly recommended for anyone needing supervised pool-based rehab.
Started here after my knee surgery on my doctor's recommendation. The 1-on-1 sessions made a real difference and the team was supportive and patient throughout my recovery process. Worth every visit.
My mother has been visiting VRX Goregaon for arthritis-related sessions. The staff is patient, the centre is clean and well-maintained, and the pricing is transparent exactly what we were looking for.
Detailed initial consultation, no rushed appointments. The aqua therapy approach felt much gentler on my joints than regular gym workouts. Will continue here for the foreseeable future.
Easy to book, professional team, and a well-maintained therapy pool. I felt reassured by the close supervision throughout each session. Worth the visit if you need supervised aqua therapy in Mumbai.
Have visited multiple physio centres, but the depth of attention at VRX is genuinely different. They actually adapt the plan as you progress instead of giving everyone the same routine.
