In the NHA book it is written that Green top tube is for STAT electrolytes.
This depends on the method that the laboratory employs. I assume that you are referring to the color coding system on the tubes that indicates what additives are inside of the tubes. Most laboratories will run most chemistry assays on gold top or SST (Serum Separator Tubes). Other methods for running electrolytes could be in a laboratory that uses an iStat device or something similar that can use whole blood as well as serum.
The color of the tube for electrolyte testing is typically green.
The tubes used for fasting glucose is the SST tubes. The tubes are clear in color. The stoppers for the tubes are gold and red gray in color. The tubes contain a gel inside for separating the blood.
A green top tube (containing lithium heparin or sodium heparin) is typically used for drawing blood for electrolyte testing. The anticoagulants in these tubes help preserve the sample for accurate testing.
For electrolytes, it is recommended to wear a color that helps you stay cool, such as light blue or white. These colors can help reflect sunlight and heat, making your body temperature more comfortable during physical activity.
The Red/Gray color tubes have serum in the serum separating tubes.
The Red/Gray color tubes usually have serum in them.

Different laboratories may use different color codes for test tubes depending on their specific protocols. However, a common color coding for test tubes used in centrifuges is as follows: red for serum tubes, lavender for EDTA tubes, green for heparin tubes, and blue for citrate tubes.

The tubes inside the kidneys are called renal tubules. These tubules play a key role in filtering blood and reabsorbing essential substances to maintain the body's balance of fluids and electrolytes.
