Measures potassium and zinc levels in blood to assess nutrient deficiencies potentially caused by ACE inhibitors.

Additional Information

This test is crucial for individuals taking ACE inhibitors, as these medications can interfere with nutrient absorption. The panel measures potassium and zinc levels, two nutrients frequently affected by ACE inhibitors. Identifying deficiencies allows for timely intervention with supplements, improving overall health and mitigating potential complications associated with low potassium or zinc. This test helps patients and their doctors make informed decisions about supplementation to maintain optimal health.

Biomarkers Tested (2)

Potassium (mmol/L)
Potassium (K) is essential for nerve function and muscle contraction. Abnormal levels can affect heart and muscle function.
Zinc (µg/dL)
Zinc is a trace element crucial for immune function, wound healing, and DNA synthesis. Low levels can lead to impaired immunity and delayed wound healing.
