Berlin · New York Guest Editorial Comment Determination of Sodium with Ion-Selective Electrodes: A New Method or a New Quantity? It is generally accepted that active molality (raNa) is the most important quantity for evaluating and understanding the effect of sodium ions. Other quantities, which are more or less helpful for this purpose, are: Free molal concentration (wNa), which can be calculated from mNa: mNa = --^ [mmol/kg H2O] YNa yNa = molal activity coefficient of sodium Total molal concentration (wtNa), which includes free molal and complex bound molal concentration: = "%a + mNaHco3 + ^Naco3- + mNax + wNaprot [mmol/kg H2O] WNaHco3'· tf?Naco3-: tt*Nax' ^Naprot' sodium sodium sodium sodium bound bound bound bound to to to to HCO3~ CCV other anions proteins Total molar concentration of a serum (ctNa), which is given by: CtNa = WtNa ' Qn2o [mmol/1 serum] QH2(> mass concentration of water in the serum The above mentioned quantities can be determined more or less reliably as follows. 1. Active molality of sodium (mNa) can be determined directly by ion-selective electrodes without dilution of
