A milliequivalent (mEq) is a unit of measurement used in chemistry and medicine to express the amount of a substance based on its chemical reactivity, particularly in relation to ions. It represents one-thousandth of an equivalent, which is the amount of a substance that can combine with or displace one mole of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a reaction. Milliequivalents are commonly used to quantify electrolytes in solutions, such as in blood tests to assess electrolyte balance in the body.
