What does EDTA mean in a blood test?

What is EDTA? EDTA, short for ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, is a fairly standard part of blood collection. It is used not only as a way to keep blood from clumping together, but also to treat extreme cases of lead poisoning in a process called “chelation therapy.”

How do you make a 0.1 molar EDTA solution?

Preparation and Standardization of 0.1 M Disodium Edetate (EDTA)

1. Take about 100 ml of water in a cleaned and dried 1000 ml volumetric flask.
2. Add about 37.2 gm of Disodium Edetate with continues stirring.
3. Add more about 700 ml of water mix.
4. Make up the volume 1000 ml with water.

Why is EDTA given IV?

Chelation therapy is a treatment that involves repeated intravenous (IV) administration of a chemical solution of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or EDTA. It is used to treat acute and chronic lead poisoning by pulling toxins (including heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury) from the bloodstream.

Is EDTA an anticoagulant?

Historically, EDTA has been recommended as the anticoagulant of choice for hematological testing because it allows the best preservation of cellular components and morphology of blood cells.

What happens if EDTA is high?

What are the effects of EDTA contamination? Increased potassium- leading to an invalid interpretation of potassium status. Decreased calcium, magnesium and alkaline phosphatase.
