Electrolyte Imbalances occur when essential minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphate are abnormally high or low. Kidneys regulate these minerals, so kidney disease often leads to imbalances, which can cause serious muscle, heart, and neurological symptoms. Dr Vishal Golay, a specialist Kidney Doctor in Siliguri, provides careful diagnosis and management to correct these imbalances safely.

Symptoms:

• Muscle cramps or weakness
• Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
• Confusion, dizziness, or seizures
• Numbness or tingling
• Fatigue or lightheadedness

Causes:

• Kidney disease affecting mineral regulation
• Fluid loss or overload (vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration)
• Medications such as diuretics or steroids
• Hormonal disorders (adrenal diseases, parathyroid dysfunction)
• Excessive salt or mineral intake

When to See a Doctor:

Persistent muscle symptoms, irregular heartbeats, or abnormal blood tests require prompt evaluation by Dr Vishal Golay – Nephrologist in Siliguri to correct imbalances and prevent complications.
