Electrolyte disorders occur when the levels of important minerals in the body become too high or too low. These minerals help control fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle activity. Early diagnosis and proper treatment help prevent serious complications.
Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are essential for normal body function. The kidneys play a key role in maintaining the right balance of these minerals.
When kidney function is affected or due to other medical conditions, electrolyte levels can become abnormal and affect overall health.
