Default Electrolyte Panel

Hi, this has been on my mind for sometime now, and I wanted to ask you
all a few questions. I have read an article at Electrolyte Panel. I
was reading about it on medical health care info
http://www.medical-health-care-infor...lyte_Panel.asp
which says An electrolyte panel is a test that measures the levels of
several substances (including electrolytes) in your blood.
Electrolytes are minerals, such as sodium and potassium, that are
found naturally in the body. They keep the body's balance of fluids at
the proper level and help maintain normal functions, such as heart
rhythm, muscle contraction, and brain function. Your health
professional may order an electrolyte panel for routine health
screening or to help detect and monitor certain conditions. An
electrolyte panel may be done to confirm a suspected electrolyte
imbalance, which may occur after taking certain medications; for
example, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may increase
potassium in the body, while certain diuretics may decrease potassium
in the body....... While it must be true, I wonder what you have to say
about it. Do let me know! Regards, Leena
