Electrolyte Panel Values
I undertook a Serum Electrolytes Panel as part of regular Health Checkup. Sodium and Chloride values were normal but Potassium value was little above. Is it something to worry?
Sodium Value - 140 mmol/l range 137-145
Potassium Value - 5.2 mmol/l range 3.5-5.1
Chloride Value - 101 mmol/l range 98-107

Marginal high is not a reason to worry but potassium has cardio toxic action so one should be aware of dietary sources of potassium especially juicy fruits like limes, lemons, oranges. If you are fond of juices, restrict them. A repeat test after a few days should give results within normal range.
