Short Name: KSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days is an electrolyte, a positively charged molecule that works with other electrolytes, such as sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate to help regulate the amount of fluid in the body, stimulate muscle contraction, and maintain a stable acid-base balance. Because the blood concentration of potassium is so small, minor

Potassium DECREASES with acute renal failure, potassium-sparing diuretics, diarrhea, hypokalemia, and is also associated with Addisons disease.

Phosphate is an electrically charged particle that contains the mineral phosphorus. Phosphorus works together with the mineral calcium to build strong bones and teeth. It also plays an essential role in nerve function and
Read moreShort Name: PHOSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days About 70% to 80% of the phosphates are combined with calcium to help form bones and teeth, about 10% are found in muscle, and about 1% is in nerve tissue. The rest is found within cells throughout the body, where it is mainly used to store energy.
