The Potassium Test measures the potassium level in the blood, essential for muscle and nerve function, as well as fluid balance. A blood sample is drawn and analyzed in a lab to determine potassium concentration, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions like kidney disease, dehydration, and blood pressure issues. It also evaluates the effects of medications that may alter potassium levels.
For optimal health, it is recommended to have this test annually during routine checkups or as needed if specific symptoms arise.
