Sodium citrate, also known as sodium citrate. The matter sorted and citrate ions in the blood Ca2 + binding, the dissociation of the soluble form is not easy Luo complex, so that the blood Ca2 + concentration decreased, less prone to blood clotting. The drug only as vitro anticoagulant, mainly for the preservation of blood in vitro. Enter containing sodium citrate as the blood too much or too fast, causing calcium is reduced, which led to heart failure. Enzyme system in neonates and infants due to hypoplasia of the citric acid into the body can not even be oxidation, more susceptible to the adverse reactions.

What test tube would you use to draw blood for a ESR?

Black top (sodium citrate tube) or light blue tube. They both contain sodium citrate. I failed this question on my final, I knew a black top tube is used but it was not given to me as a choice. I did not think hard enough to come to the conclusion that a light blue tube would be another option.
