It may be used to monitor or diagnose conditions related to abnormal potassium levels. These conditions include kidney disease, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

Why do I need a potassium blood test?
Your health care provider may order a potassium blood test as part of your regular checkup or to monitor an existing condition, such as diabetes, kidney disease, or adrenal gland disorders. You may also need this test if you take medicines that could affect your potassium levels or if you have symptoms of having too much or too little potassium.

If your potassium levels are too high (hyperkalemia), your symptoms may include:

Arrhythmia (a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat)
Fatigue
Muscle weakness
Nausea
Numbness or tingling
If your potassium levels are too low (hypokalemia), your symptoms may include:

Irregular heartbeat

  • X-Ray

    An x-ray examination uses an electrical device to emit (put out) x-rays and digital technology to create two-dimensional pictures of internal body structures.
    This test is particularly useful in diagnosing conditions or diseases that affect the bones and chest.
    A conventional x-ray examination is non-invasive, painless and does not require any recovery time.
    The dose of radiation from an x-ray examination is considered safe ? roughly the same as you would receive from the general environment in about one week.

  • Lung Function test

    Lung function tests, also known as pulmonary function tests, or PFTs, are a group of tests that check to see if your lungs are working right. The tests look for:

    How much air your lungs can hold
    How well you move air in and out of your lungs
    How well the lungs move oxygen into your bloodstream. Your blood cells need oxygen to grow and stay healthy.
    There are several types of lung function tests. They include:

    Spirometry. the most common type of lung function test. It measures how much and how quickly you can move air in and out of your lungs.
    Lung volume test. also known as body plethysmography. This test measures the amount of air you can hold in your lungs and the amount of air that remains after you exhale (breathe out) as much as you can.
    Gas diffusion test. This test measures how oxygen and other gases move from the lungs to the bloodstream.
    Exercise stress test. This test looks at how exercise affects lung function.

  • Urine ketone

    A ketones in urine test measures ketone levels in your urine. Normally, the cells in your body use glucose (sugar) from your blood for energy. If your cells can’t get enough glucose, your body breaks down fat for energy instead. This produces an acid called ketones, which can build up in your blood and urine.

    Having some ketones in your urine is normal. But high ketone levels in urine may be a sign that your body is too acidic. This condition is called ketoacidosis. The most common type of ketoacidosis is a complication of diabetes called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Diabetic ketoacidosis is a medical emergency that often develops quickly and can even be life-threatening.

    If you have diabetes, a ketones in urine test can help find high ketone levels early so you can get treatment right away. Home tests are available if your health care provider recommends frequent testing.
