Blood contains high levels of citrate. Calcium gluconate helps counteract or buffer the effect of the citrate which can include chelating, inability to coagulant or clot which can cause hypocalcemia, and citrate toxicity due to the lover's slow processing of citrate.
Why does calcium gluconate given after the fourth dose of blood transfussion?
correct me if im wrong... it's because each unit of blood contains citrate. it acts as a chelating agent and anti coagulant, thus cause hypocalcemia. another, it will prevent citrate toxicity because the liver metabolizes this slowly. each unit may contain about 3g of citrate. am i right?
