Electrolytes affect the movement of substances between body fluids and tissues, and are crucial for normal function and metabolism. In many illnesses, monitoring proper balance among the most important ones is vital.
Calcium and potassium, for example, are necessary for cardiac and skeletal contractions and relaxations, and sodium is essential for fluid balance.
An electrolyte imbalance can be caused by disease conditions or medications. Electrolyte depletion can be the result of loss of body fluids, such as occurs from sweating or diarrhea.
