Electrolytes Serum Test Overview
An Electrolytes Serum blood test done by Apollo 24|7 tells you the levels of the body's most important electrolytes, such as sodium, chloride, potassium, and bicarbonate which are found in the blood. Sodium controls fluid levels and ensures your nerves and muscles work well. On the other hand, chloride is an electrolyte that ensures optimal fluid balance, controls the pH of the blood, and improves digestion.
