Plasma Electrolytes
- Molecular classification
- Inorganic Ions
01
Overview
Plasma electrolytes are inorganic ions dissolved in the liquid component of blood known as plasma. These ions include sodium (Na⁺), potassium (K⁺), chloride (Cl⁻), calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), phosphate (PO₄³⁻), and bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻). They are essential for maintaining the body’s chemical balance, electrical neutrality, and physiological functions. Measurement of plasma electrolyte levels is a routine diagnostic tool for assessing hydration status, kidney function, acid-base disorders, cardiac risk factors, and more.
