  • Title: [Simultaneous determination of inorganic anions in body fluids. A new method in pediatric laboratory diagnosis--results of a pilot study].

    Abstract:
    The anions analysis was a methodical problem up to now. This was the reason for low interest. Biological fluids like saliva and urine which could easily receive without any stress for the children, are little investigated for its capacity on nitrite, nitrate, bromide and sulfate. In this performance there will presented an ion-chromatographic method to determine inorganic anions in the following body-fluids: serum saliva, liquor and urine. The anions chloride, nitrite, bromide, nitrate, phosphate and sulfate was determined quantitatively. The method was proved in a pilot-study on children's body-fluids serum, liquor and saliva. The objects was to get a landmark in expectation from anion concentrations. Bromide was detected as a constant part in all body fluids. The origin and importance is not clear till now. Also was found nitrate in all investigated body fluids. There seems to be a connection between diarrhea and an increase in serum levels from nitrate. We found considerable amounts of nitrate in saliva by babies and infants. The method is distinguished by little fluctuation in measurement and high specificity. Short time in analysis and simple handling will do the method for a qualified one in pediatrics.
