Diagnosis & Management of Electrolyte Disorders
Electrolytes (including sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate) are vital minerals required to maintain cell membrane potentials, regulate fluid distributions, support cardiac rhythm, and balance systemic acidity. The kidneys act as the primary filters and regulators of these electrolytes. A disruption in kidney function, hormone abnormalities, or certain medications can lead to severe disturbances (such as high potassium or low sodium), which are medical emergencies.
Dr. Priyash Tambi specializes in diagnosing and correcting complex electrolyte and acid-base disorders. We focus on stabilizing patients, correcting critical deficits or excesses through monitored infusions, and investigating the root causes to prevent recurrence.
Our Electrolyte Imbalance Services Include:
- Management of Sodium Imbalances (Hyponatremia/Hypernatremia)
- Treatment of Potassium Disturbances (Hypokalemia/severe Hyperkalemia)
- Correction of Calcium and Phosphate imbalances (Renal Bone Disease management)
- Evaluation and correction of Acid-Base disorders (Metabolic Acidosis/Alkalosis)
- ICU-based critical care support for severe symptomatic electrolyte shifts
- Detailed hormonal workups (Aldosterone, Parathyroid, and ADH screening)
Precise and Controlled Corrections
Correcting electrolyte abnormalities too quickly can cause irreversible neurological complications (such as osmotic demyelination in sodium shifts). We follow precise clinical calculation protocols and provide continuous laboratory monitoring to restore normal body biochemistry safely and effectively.
