Abstract

The previously reported decrease in plasma ionized calcium concentration associated with the presence of heparin has been shown to result largely from the presence of the preservative benzyl alcohol and only partially from heparin. Methanol, ethanol, or benzene did not have an effect on measured serum ionized calcium concentration.
