Electrolytes namely sodium, potassium are present in intracellular and extracellular fluids. The concentration of electrolytes is affected by water balance, sodium chloride intake and intake of other minerals present in the diet. The body has several mechanisms by which it can keep the electrolyte balance in the intracellular and extracellular fluids at a constant level. Gastrointestinal tract constantly regulates electrolyte levels.
