Calcium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disease, a variety of bone diseases, chronic renal disease and tetany (intermittent muscular contractions or spasms)
Colorimetric test for the quantitative determination of calcium total in human serum and heparinised plasma.
Chloride (Cl)
Chloride is the most important anion of sodium. Chloride is co-responsible for the extracellular fluid volume and plasma osmolality. Chloride measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of electrolyte and metabolic disorders, e.g. cystic fibrosis and diabetic ketoacidosis.
Colorimetric test for the quantitative determination of chloride in human serum, urine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Posstasium (K)
Potassium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypokalemia (chronic ingestion of diuretics and laxatives, with/without disorders of the acid-base balance), hyperkalemia (overadministration of potassium, acidosis, or crush injuries), renal failure, Addison`s disease or other diseases involving electrolyte imbalance.
Photometric tests for the quantitative determination of potassium in human serum and heparinised plasma
Sodium (Na)
Sodium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disturbances of fluid and electrolyte balance, e.g. due to a loss of water or salt, and other serum electrolytes deviating from their reference interval by polyuric-polydypsic syndromes and impaired thirst, renal diseases, hypertension, disorders of the acid-base balance, some endocrine diseases, edema, excessive sodium intake.
Colorimetric tests for the quantitative determination of sodium in human serum and heparinized plasma.
