Sodium (mmol/L)

Sodium (Na) helps regulate water balance and nerve function. Abnormal levels can affect hydration status and blood pressure.

Calcium (mg/dL)

Calcium (Ca) is a mineral vital for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Abnormal levels can suggest bone, kidney, or parathyroid issues.

Calcium (mg/dL)

Calcium (Ca) is a mineral vital for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Abnormal levels can suggest bone, kidney, or parathyroid issues.

Potassium (mmol/L)

Potassium (K) is essential for nerve function and muscle contraction. Abnormal levels can affect heart and muscle function.

Chloride (mmol/L)

Chloride is important for maintaining fluid balance and for the proper functioning of the digestive system.

Albumin (g/dL)

Albumin is a protein made by the liver that helps keep fluid in your bloodstream and carries various substances throughout your body. Low levels can indicate liver or kidney disease.

Magnesium (mmol/L)

Magnesium and calcium work together closely to maintain strong bones, and magnesium deficiency has been associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis.

Urea (mmol/L)
