Electrolyte and metabolic disorders are common in both acute and chronic kidney disease and can rapidly become life-threatening if not managed appropriately. These disorders include abnormalities in sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate, and acid-base balance. At IMH, management is delivered through a nephrology-led, protocol-driven approach with strong integration across emergency, inpatient, and outpatient services.

Electrolyte disturbances may arise from kidney dysfunction, medications, hormonal imbalances, dehydration, or systemic illness. Symptoms range from mild fatigue to severe cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, and altered consciousness, depending on severity and rate of onset.

IMH emphasizes rapid assessment using clinical evaluation and laboratory analysis. Treatment strategies are tailored based on the specific abnormality, underlying cause, and patient stability. Management may include intravenous or oral electrolyte replacement, fluid restriction, medication adjustment, or dialysis in severe cases.

Acid-base disorders such as metabolic acidosis and alkalosis are managed through careful correction of underlying causes and targeted therapy. Continuous monitoring ensures safe correction and avoids complications from rapid shifts.

By combining timely intervention, standardized protocols, and multidisciplinary coordination, IMH ensures safe and effective management of electrolyte and metabolic disorders while protecting kidney and overall organ function.
