Balanced Salt Solution Chemical Information

sodium acetate - The trihydrate sodium salt of acetic acid with alkalinizing, diuretic and electrolyte replacement properties. Following absorption, sodium acetate generates sodium bicarbonate, thereby raising blood and urine pH. In addition, this agent may increase serum sodium concentration.

sodium chloride - A metal halide composed of sodium and chloride with sodium and chloride replacement capabilities. When depleted in the body, sodium must be replaced in order to maintain intracellular osmolarity, nerve conduction, muscle contraction and normal renal function.

sodium citrate - The sodium salt form of citrate with alkalinizing property. Upon absorption, sodium citrate dissociate and causes increased plasma bicarbonate concentration, thereby buffer excess H+, raise blood pH and reverse the clinical manifestations of acidosis. Furthermore, increased free sodium load could foster intravascular blood volume, and facilitate excretion of bicarbonate compounds and result in anti-urolithic effect.

calcium chloride - A crystalline, white substance, soluble in water, Calcium Chloride is the chloride salt of calcium, a bivalent metallic element with many crucial biological roles. Calcium is a major constituent of the skeleton but plays many roles as an intracellular and plasma ion as well. In medicine, calcium chloride is also used as a 10% solution in injection, for calcium replenishment. (NCI04)

magnesium chloride - Magnesium Chloride was used as a laxative. An alkaline earth metal, magnesium is important for many biochemical functions and reactions; for bone and muscle function, protein and fatty acid formation, activation of B vitamins, blood clotting, insulin secretion, and ATP formation. More than 300 enzymes require magnesium for catalytic action. The adult daily requirement is about 300 mg/day. Magnesium is found in many green plants, vegetables, and seeds; chlorophyll is a magnesium-centered porphyrin compound. Magnesium salts are used for magnesium deficiency supplementation. (NCI04)

potassium chloride - A metal halide composed of potassium and chloride. Potassium maintains intracellular tonicity, is required for nerve conduction, cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle contraction, production of energy, the synthesis of nucleic acids, maintenance of blood pressure and normal renal function. This agent has potential antihypertensive effects and when taken as a nutritional supplement may prevent hypokalemia.
