Understanding your body's levels of salts and minerals can be key to improving your overall health, maintaining your body's balance, and increasing your energy and vitality.
Details of salt and mineral analysis
Analysis of salts and minerals includes several tests for a wide range of elements:
Blood Salt Analysis
Sodium Analysis:
Sodium analysis is also used to evaluate some chronic diseases such as kidney, heart, and adrenal diseases, as sodium is responsible for fluid balance in the body and nerve and muscle functions.
Potassium Analysis:
Diagnosing conditions related to the disorder of the level of potassium in the body such as kidney disease, heart disease, and high blood pressure, and monitoring the effect of certain medications such as diuretics, as potassium is important for heart and muscle function, and regulating blood pressure.
Chloride Analysis:
Assessing the balance of acids and alkalis in the body to diagnose cases of dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, and diagnose some diseases such as kidney and liver disease, heart failure, and high blood pressure, as chloride helps maintain the balance of fluids and acids in the body.
Blood Mineral Analysis
Calcium Analysis:
Diagnosis of bone problems, teeth, thyroid disorders, kidney and neurological diseases, calcium analysis is also used as one of the routine analyses of metabolism, as calcium is essential for bone and dental health, muscle contraction, and nerve function.
Ionized Calcium Analysis:
Detect the determination of ionized calcium levels, evaluate thyroid function, detect bone diseases early, monitor the effectiveness and effects of treatments that affect the level of calcium in the blood, such as treatments for kidney or thyroid diseases, and diagnose abnormal levels of proteins such as immunoglobin or albumin, when there is an imbalance in the percentage of calcium associated with proteins and free calcium.
Magnesium Analysis:
Diagnosis of conditions related to the disorder of magnesium levels in the body such as low or irregular heartbeat, nausea, breathing problems, muscle cramps, loss of appetite, weakness and fatigue, as magnesium is important for musculoskeletal and nerve functions, bone formation, and energy production.
Iron Analysis:
Diagnosis of anemia as iron is essential for the formation of hemoglobin in the blood and the transport of oxygen. Evaluate iron deficiency conditions such as general weakness, pale skin, muscle weakness, difficulty concentrating, headaches, or iron overdoses such as darkening of skin tone, joint pain, unexplained weight loss and muscle weakness.
Copper Analysis:
Diagnosis of diseases related to copper disorder in the body, such as Wilson's disease and cirrhosis of the liver, which cause the accumulation of copper in various body tissues, and evaluation of cases of immunodeficiency and anemia, as copper has a role in the formation of red blood cells and the maintenance of nerve and immune health.
Zinc Analysis:
Diagnosis of conditions associated with zinc disorder in the body such as excess zinc due to zinc poisoning, zinc deficiency due to malnutrition and absorption disorders and diagnosis of immune system problems as zinc is involved in immune functions, protein formation and DNA.
Phosphorus Analysis:
Diagnosis of kidney disease and monitoring of kidney function, to assess the general condition of bones, diagnose disorders such as osteoporosis and diagnose thyroid disorders.
Steps for analyzing salts and minerals
Go to the lab on time.
Sample Withdrawal:
A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle, and blood is then taken into a test tube for later analysis.
In some rare cases, a urine sample is taken
Laboratory Test:
Special devices and techniques are used to measure the levels of minerals and salts in the body.
Discussion of the results:
The results of the salts and minerals analysis are discussed in detail to clarify what they mean and what the next steps are based on the results.
