What Is a Potassium Test?

A potassium test is a routine diagnostic test that measures the amount of potassium in your blood. Potassium is an essential electrolyte, a mineral that helps maintain fluid balance, supports nerve signals, and ensures proper muscle and heart contractions.

The test helps detect abnormal potassium levels, which can be either too high (hyperkalaemia) or too low (hypokalaemia), indicating potential health conditions affecting your heart, kidneys, or muscle function. The test uses a blood sample taken from a vein in your arm.
