[Effects of erythrocytes on electrometric pH measurements (author's transl)]. 1980

A M Bourdeau, and P Beaune, and C Sachs

Erythrocyte interference in electrometric readings has been demonstrated and quantified in pH measurements. The presence of erythrocytes introduces a negative component into the final result of the electrometric reading, proportional to the hematocrit. There is indirect evidence that this does not correspond to a true proton concentration change, but to the presence of the erythrocytes per se. The authors suggest the use of a correcting factor (0.01 pH unit per tens of hematocrit units) to obtain the real pH from a pH value measured on whole blood: however the use of this correcting factor should be restricted to the type of equipment described.

D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.
