Clinical chemistry reagents intended to perform qualitative and/or quantitative chemical analysis in a sample of a body fluid (typically serum, plasma, or urine) to determine the potassium electrolyte (K+) level. High levels of potassium in blood (hyperkalemia) are associated with renal diseases; low levels (hypokalemia) are associated with alkalosis, renal diseases, chronic starvation, and the use of diuretic drugs.
