hypokalemia/dichloromethane

A method is presented for radioimmunological determination of 3alpha, 5beta-tetrahydroaldosterone. It is based upon the reactivity of this steroid with an antiserum induced by the 3-carboxymethyloxime of 18, 21-aldosterone diacetate conjugated with bovine serum albumin. One hundred microliters of

A method for simultaneous measurement of 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC), 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone (18-OH-DOC) and aldosterone using 1.0-2.0 ml of plasma has been developed. The present method consists of extracting plasma with dichloromethane, separating the DOC, 18-OH-DOC, and aldosterone
