Electrolyte and Acid Base Disorders
Abnormal sodium, potassium or other salts can affect muscles, nerves and the heart. We investigate persistent or recurrent abnormalities and disturbances of the body’s acid balance.
Your Clinical Care Pathway
The clinician reviews medicines, diet, fluid intake and symptoms.
Repeat blood testing may confirm the result; urine tests, hormone tests or an ECG may be needed.
The speed and setting of treatment depend on severity.
Expected benefits and limitations
The goal is safe correction and prevention of recurrence by treating the cause. Some disorders require long-term monitoring. Rapid correction of certain sodium disorders can be harmful.
