Potential Inaccuracies in Chloride Measurements in Patients with Severe Metabolic Acidosis

Figure 3

Interference of bicarbonate ( ) concentrations on chloride (Clāˆ’) concentrations measured with a Hitachi7600 or an ABL800. There was a concentration-dependent increase in Clāˆ’ concentrations measured with the Hitachi7600 (i.e., the mean concentrations were statistically different from each other) but not with the ABL800, with increasing concentrations. Data are means.
