Electrolyte correction and management
About the procedure
Electrolyte correction and management involves treating imbalances of essential minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in the body. These imbalances commonly occur due to kidney disease, dehydration, medications, or hormonal disorders. Proper electrolyte balance is vital for nerve function, muscle movement, heart rhythm, and overall metabolic stability. Management includes careful monitoring, dietary modifications, oral or intravenous supplementation, and medication adjustments to restore and maintain safe electrolyte levels.
