You also <strong>get these minerals from foods, <\/strong>drinks, and supplements.<\/li>\n<li>Electrolytes in blood, tissue, urine and other body fluids play a <strong>critical role in balancing body fluids<\/strong>, regulating your heart rhythm, and <strong>supporting nerve and muscle function<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>An <strong>electrolyte imbalance occurs<\/strong> when you have <strong>too much or not enough of certain minerals<\/strong> in your body. This imbalance may be a sign of a problem like kidney disease.<\/li>\n<li>An <strong>electrolyte panel<\/strong> is a blood <strong>test that measures electrolyte levels<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Q1<\/strong>: What is silver iodide?<\/h3>\n<p>Silver iodide is an iodide of silver. It is a photosensitive solid used in photography, as an antiseptic in medicine, and in rainmaking.
