Electrolyte Equilibrium

Meaning

Electrolyte Equilibrium is the physiological state characterized by the precise balance of concentrations of essential charged mineral ions, including sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate, within the body’s various fluid compartments. This meticulous balance is non-negotiable for maintaining cell membrane potentials, regulating nerve and muscle function, controlling fluid dynamics, and ensuring acid-base homeostasis. Clinical stability of these electrolytes is a critical indicator of hydration status and overall renal and adrenal function.
