Electrolyte Disorders

Our body has intracellular and extracellular electrolytes which are tightly regulated by body physiology and kidneys. Changes above or below normal range could lead to cellular level electrical problems which could manifest from muscle pain and weakness to abnormal heart beat rhythm and even death. Abnormal kidney function, diuretics (fluid pills), diet, over the counter supplements, herbs including licorice roots are usual culprits. Occasionally, electrolyte disorders are related to abnormal hormone levels mainly from thyroid and adrenal glands. We provide testings to find out the cause and prescribe necessary medications to maintain electrolytes in order along with your doctor.
