Determination of the pH of Hemolyzed Packed Red Cells from Arterial Blood

[摘要] A technic is described for the determination of the in vivo p H of red blood cell hemolysates. The mean arterial red cell p H of 20 normal subjects was 7.19 with a range of 7.15 to 7.22. The fiducial probability at the 0.95 level is 7.13 to 7.25. The mean difference in p H between plasma and cells was 0.21, with a range of 0.15 to 0.23.It is suggested that changes in p H of erythrocytes may reflect changes in other less accessible cells of the body and that the determination may be a useful research and clinical procedure in the study of metabolic and respiratory derangements.
