: Core laboratory chemistry analyzers typically use plasma and serum samples, while blood gas instruments use whole blood for electrolyte and metabolite tests. Due to high costs to back up the core lab chemistry analyzers, especially in the remote small community hospitals, we have verified the interchangeability of serum/plasma electrolytes and metabolites on blood gas instruments (GEM4000 and Radiometer ABL90) vs. chemistry analyzers.

These observations contradict the established E data and allow access to an otherwise inaccessible sodium derivative.

Background Diabetes mellitus in cancer patients is monitored by measuring blood glucose levels and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) collected in sodium fluoride and EDTA tube respectively. This study intends to estimate HbA1c from a sodium fluoride tube and compare it with a standard EDTA tube eliminating the requirement of collecting additional samples in an already challenging venipuncture in cancer patients and also compare HbA1c levels estimated by turbidimetric immunoinhibition with reference high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Biochemistry of Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, India, over a period of five months.

Misconceptions surrounding sodium compounds, particularly the interchangeable use of sodium and sodium chloride (table salt), persist within the medical community, influencing dietary recommendations and patient management especially in heart failure (HF) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This narrative review aims to dissect these misconceptions and discusses the physiological impacts of sodium, chloride, and sodium bicarbonate on cardiovascular (CV) physiology. The conflation of sodium and sodium chloride in dietary recommendations has obscured critical differences in their physiological effects.

PAHO-WHO reports that sodium intake is currently high in the Caribbean. The objective was to estimate sodium (Na) and potassium (K) intakes by 72 h dietary recall and compare them with those obtained from 24 h urinary excretion in Dominican adults. A total of 69 adults (33 men) completed a 3-day dietary recall with emphasis on added salt and seasonings.
