Electrolytes Test Abu Dhabi — Sodium, Potassium, Chloride From AED 89 | Lab Experts

Electrolytes test in Abu Dhabi from AED 89. Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Chloride (Cl). Same-day results. For cramps, palpitations, dehydration, kidney monitoring.

Starting from AED 89. Results in 6 hours.

Electrolytes are the charged minerals — sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, calcium and magnesium — that regulate fluid balance, nerve signalling, muscle contraction (including heartbeat), and acid-base balance. Even small imbalances can cause cramps, palpitations, fatigue and confusion.

What's Included

Basic Electrolytes Panel — AED 89

- Sodium (Na) — normal range 136–145 mmol/L

- Potassium (K) — normal range 3.5–5.1 mmol/L

- Chloride (Cl) — normal range 98–107 mmol/L

Extended Electrolytes Panel — AED 149

- Sodium, Potassium, Chloride

- Bicarbonate (HCO3) — acid-base balance

- Calcium (Total) — muscle and nerve function

- Magnesium — heart rhythm, muscle relaxation

When to Get Tested

- Muscle cramps that won't go away (low Mg, K or Na)

- Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat (low or high K, low Mg)

- Dehydration after heat exposure, vomiting, or diarrhoea

- Diuretic medication — fluid pills can lower K and Na

- Kidney monitoring — kidney disease shifts electrolytes

- Diabetes follow-up — high blood sugar disturbs Na and K

- Persistent fatigue, weakness, or confusion of unclear cause

- High blood pressure — Na/K ratio matters

- Endurance athletes in the UAE heat — heavy sweating depletes electrolytes

How It Works

1. Walk in or book home collection (from AED 50 within Abu Dhabi city)

2. Single quick blood draw — no fasting required

3. Same-day password-protected PDF report (most samples processed within 6 hours)

4. Doctor-reviewed interpretation flagging any out-of-range values

Often Ordered Together With

Kidney Function Test (Urea, Creatinine, eGFR) · CBC · Vitamin D · Vitamin B12 · TSH · Cardiac risk profile.

What does an electrolytes test measure?

The basic electrolytes panel measures Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), and Chloride (Cl) — the three minerals most responsible for fluid balance, nerve signals, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm. The extended panel adds Bicarbonate, Calcium, and Magnesium.

How much does an electrolytes test cost in Abu Dhabi?

The basic Sodium + Potassium + Chloride panel at Lab Experts starts from AED 89. The extended panel (adds Bicarbonate, Calcium, Magnesium) is AED 149. Home collection adds AED 50 within Abu Dhabi city.

When should I get my electrolytes checked?

Get tested if you experience persistent muscle cramps, heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat, unexplained fatigue or weakness, dehydration after illness or heat exposure, or are taking diuretics (water pills). Routine monitoring is recommended for people with kidney disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure.

Do I need to fast before an electrolytes test?

No fasting is required. You can have a normal meal and test any time of day. Avoid intense exercise for 2 hours before the test, as it can temporarily raise potassium levels.

Can low potassium cause heart palpitations?

Yes. Both low (hypokalaemia) and high (hyperkalaemia) potassium can disturb the heart's electrical rhythm and cause palpitations, skipped beats, or in severe cases dangerous arrhythmias. Anyone with new palpitations should check electrolytes (and ideally an ECG).

How fast are the results?

Electrolyte results are typically delivered the same day — within 6 hours for samples received during morning lab hours. Reports arrive as a single password-protected PDF with reference ranges and a doctor-reviewed flag for any abnormal value.

Is home collection available for electrolytes?

Yes. Our certified phlebotomist visits your home, office, or hotel at your chosen time. Home collection costs AED 50 within Abu Dhabi city, AED 150 outside the city, and AED 250 for other UAE regions. Especially useful if you're feeling weak, dehydrated, or post-illness.
