Comprehensive Electrolyte Panel

This panel pairs a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel—which measures your core electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate) alongside kidney markers, glucose, and liver enzymes—with the key trace minerals magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, and iodine that routine panels often leave out. Together these answer practical questions: Is my hydration and acid-base balance where it should be? Are my kidneys clearing electrolytes normally? And do I have adequate mineral status to support energy metabolism, oxygen transport, thyroid function, and muscle and nerve signaling? Magnesium and potassium matter for cardiac rhythm and muscle contraction, iron and copper are central to oxygen delivery and red blood cell production, zinc supports immune and recovery processes, and iodine underpins thyroid hormone synthesis—so seeing them next to your fluid and kidney status gives a fuller picture than any single marker alone. You learn whether a deficiency, imbalance, or subclinical trend is present, which can guide targeted dietary changes, supplementation decisions, or a follow-up conversation with your clinician. Bundling these into one blood draw is more convenient and typically more economical than ordering each mineral and metabolic test separately.
