Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dipotassium blood test electrolyte

 

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dipotassium is recognized by the International Hematology Standards Committee as a Anticoagulant suitable for blood cell counting and classification testing. This is because Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dipotassium has the effect of protecting blood cell components to a certain extent, and has little effect on the morphology of white blood cells and red blood cells. This advantage is closely related to its anticoagulant mechanism. By chelating divalent ions such as calcium ions in blood samples, these ions are blocked from acting as cofactors of thrombin, thereby achieving anticoagulant effects.

 

However, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dipotassium is not suitable for the detection of blood electrolytes, because the detection of blood electrolytes is mainly to check whether the concentration of electrolytes in the body is normal, including sodium ion, potassium ion, calcium ion, magnesium ion, etc. When dipotassium Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is used as a Anticoagulant in blood electrolyte examination, it will lead to high blood potassium, low blood calcium, low blood magnesium and reduced ALP activity, thus affecting the examination results.

 

Therefore, it is more suitable to use heparin lithium as blood Anticoagulant in blood electrolyte detection. When abnormal blood potassium concentration occurs in clinic, first judge whether the selection of Anticoagulant is correct; Secondly, the blood sampling sequence should comply with the specification to avoid causing the blood sampling needle to carry a small amount of EDTA Anticoagulant or even EDTA anticoagulant to flow back along the blood sampling needle, thus polluting the blood collection vessel for blood electrolyte detection. This shows that different Anticoagulant are suitable for different Blood test.
