Abstract
Because of important role of sodium and potassium in maintenance of homeostasis the interpretation of their concentration should require special attention. In routine two potentiometric methods are used; direct (undiluted samples) and indirect (diluted samples). Results obtained by indirect method reflect the real status in case of physiological proportion of plasma water and stable particles, otherwise (lipemia, hiperproteinemia, alcoholemia) the results are falsely decreased leading particularly to pseudohiponatremia and pseudonormonatremia, what should be considered in clinical interpretation of results.
