Full Electrolyte/Urea/Creatinine (E/U/C) – Automated Panel

The Full E/U/C Test (Electrolyte, Urea, and Creatinine Panel) at Pamel Laboratories is a comprehensive, automated biochemical test that evaluates key indicators of kidney function, fluid balance, and electrolyte status. Performed using advanced automated analyzers, this test provides accurate, fast, and reliable results for routine health assessments and monitoring of chronic conditions.

It is essential in the evaluation of renal function, hypertension, dehydration, and metabolic imbalances.

What the Test Measures:

• Electrolytes:

  • Sodium (Na⁺)

  • Potassium (K⁺)

  • Chloride (Cl⁻)

  • Bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻)

• Renal Markers:

  • Urea

  • Creatinine

  • Urea-to-Creatinine Ratio

• (May also include calculated eGFR if applicable)

Purpose of the Test:

• Assess and monitor kidney (renal) function

• Evaluate electrolyte imbalances in conditions such as:

  • Hypertension

  • Heart failure

  • Dehydration

  • Diabetic kidney disease

• Pre-operative evaluation and ongoing medical management

• Monitor response to medications affecting kidney or fluid balance

Sample Type: Blood sample (serum)

Turnaround Time: Same day (within a few hours)

Important Notes:

• Results must be interpreted alongside clinical symptoms and other tests

• Abnormal levels may require dietary adjustment, medication changes, or further investigations

• eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) may be included for a more complete renal profile
