Potassium [Moles/volume] in Urine from Fetus
Active
Term Description
Fetal urine analysis for various biochemicals can indicate abnormalities in renal function prior to birth. Testing performed in the early stages of development can help catch early warning signs of renal issues that could potentially be corrected or help make decisions for the unborn child's care. PMID: 1547172 PMID: 25412852 Urine is collected while the fetus is in utero by vesicostomy or fetal cystoscopy. Results are stored in the mother's chart and distinctive from the mother's results.

Part Descriptions
LP15098-4 Potassium
Potassium (symbol K from Latin:kalium) is a key chemical element involved in neuron function and influencing osmotic balance between cells and interstitial fluid. Depletion in potassium levels results in deficient fluid and electrolyte balance in the body as well as various nervous and cardiac dysfunctions. Studies suggest diets high in potassium can reduce the risk of hypertension and possibly stroke. Foods rich in potassium include parsley, dried apricots, potatoes, bananas, avocados, soybeans, and bran, as well as most fruits, vegetables, meat and fish. Overall, clear cases of potassium deficiency are rare in healthy individuals.
