1.    What are electrolytes?

2.    What electrolytes can you name in English?

3.    What are the functions of electrolytes?

Electrolytes are ltt^&^in your blood and other body fluids that carry an 2$^k&Tf-charge. Electrolytes affect the amount of 3.u£&2rJ in your body, the acidity of your blood (pH), your    function, and other important

processes. You lose electrolytes when you 52MS&,. You must    them by drinking fluids. Common

electrolytes include:

•    Calcium

•    Chloride

•    Magnesium

•    Phosphorous

•    Potassium

•    Sodium

Electrolytes can be acids, bases, and    They can be measured by laboratory studies of the blood in

different ways. Each electrolyte can be    as a separate test, such as:

•    Ionized calcium

•    Serum    calcium

•    Serum    chloride

•    Serum    magnesium

•    Serum    phosphorus

•    Serum    potassium

•    Serum    sodium

Sodium, potassium, and chloride can also be ordered as part of an electrolyte panel or a basie metabolic panel.The electrolytes - urine test measures electrolytes in urine. It usually measures the levels of calcium, chloride, potassium, or sodium.
