Electrolytes Ctnd Flashcards
Major extracellular anion
CHLORIDE
CHLORIDE
FUNCTIONS
• Involved in maintaining osmolality, blood volume, and electric neutrality
• Chloride shifts secondarily to a movement of sodium or bicarbonate ions
Chloride Specimen Consideration
• Specimens:
Serum
plasma(Li heparin)
whole blood
urine (24-hour)
sweat
Used to measure cystic fibrosis
Sweat (sweat patch
CHLORIDE
Hemolysis…
• However, with marked hemolysis, levels may be______ as a result of a dilutional effect
does not cause a significant change in serum or plasma values
decreased

Chloride
• Amperometric-coulometric titration
Measuring device

Chloride
Ag + 2Cl → AgCl
Excess or free Ag → endpoint of titration
What method?
Amperometric coulorimetric titration method
(Schales and Schales Method)
Mercurimetric Titration
Chloride
Mercurimetric Titration
• Precipitating agent:
tungstic acid
Chloride
Mercurimetric titration method
________is titrated with a standard solution of mercuric ions (_____) to form a soluble compound of_____, which does not dissociate to mercuric ions
Excess mercuric ions combine with_________(indicator) to form a______ complex
Protein Free Filter
mercuric nitrate
mercuric chloride
s- diphenylcarbazone
blue-violet colored complex
Chloride
• Specimen is mixed with a solution of mercuric thiocyanate
Mercuric chloride - final product
Mercuric Thiocyanate (Whitehorn Titration) Method
Chloride
• Free thiocyanate reacts with ferric ions present in ferric nitrate to form a reddish-brown complex
Mercuric Thiocyanate (Whitehorn Titration) Method
Method 1.2
Chloride ions react with a mercury(II)-2,4,6-tri-(2-pyridyl)-s-triazine
(TPTZ) complex to form mercury(Il)-chioride. The liberated TPTZ reacts with iron(il) ions yielding ablue coloured complex
The resulting absorbance change at____ is directly proportional to the amount of chloride ions in the sample.

• Composes the largest fraction of the total carbon dioxide
Bicarbonate (>90%)
Bicarbonate
• Specimen
• Venous serum or heparinized plasma
• Anaerobic collection
If the sample is left uncapped before analysis, CO2 escapes (decrease by….)
Bicarbonate
6 mmol/L per hour)
Bicarbonate Determination
• Uses an acid to convert all the forms of CO, to CO, gas and is measured by a pCO, electrode
ISE
• Alkalinizes the sample to convert all forms of CO, to CO3-
Enzymatic Method
Bicarbonate Reference Range
Reference Ranges

• Fifth most common element
• Most prevalent cation in the human body
Calcium
Calcium FUNCTIONS
• skeletal mineralization
• blood coagulation
• neural transmission
• plasma buffering capacity and enzyme activity
• maintenance of normal muscle tone and excitability of skeletal and cardiac muscle
