What else can I help you with?
What blood test measures ions such as sodium potassium carbon dioxide and chloride?
Sodium, potassium, chloride would fall under U&E testing (Urea and Electrolytes).
What elements affect blood pressure?
sodium and potassium
Why you use potassium instead of sodium in higher blood pressure?
Potassium is a mineral used to help lower blood pressure and moderate electrolytes in the body. Sodium is basically salt, and large quantities in the body creates high blood pressure. So, it is important to have sufficient potassium, or Vitamin K, and lower sodium or salt. Potassium is good. Too much for sodium is bad.
What increases blood levels of sodium and decreases blood levels of potassium?
mineralocorticoids
What are two important electrolytes found in blood plasma?

What does blood test for potassium and sodium identify?
electrolyte imbalance
What is necessary for red blood cells?
calcium, potassium, sodium
What are the components of cerebrospinal fluid?

What mineral helps offset some of the effects sodium has on blood pressure?
You need 4,700mg of Potassium
What Mineral can increase blood pressure?
magnesium, potassium, and calcium
What terms substances such as sodium and potassium that are normally found in blood?
