Potassium (K+), Serum (BC0098)

Description

Fluid Potassium is a laboratory test used to measure the concentration of potassium in body fluids such as pleural fluid, ascitic fluid, pericardial fluid, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or other biological fluids. It assists in evaluating electrolyte balance within body compartments and may support the assessment of fluid characteristics, renal function, metabolic disturbances, or suspected contamination. Results are interpreted in correlation with serum potassium and the clinical condition.
