Potential Inaccuracies in Chloride Measurements in Patients with Severe Metabolic Acidosis
Figure 3
Interference of bicarbonate () concentrations on chloride (Clā) concentrations measured with a Hitachi7600 or an ABL800. There was a concentration-dependent increase in Clā 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.
