Test for the rapid determination of ischemic states and test kit for this purpose,

摘要

A method for detecting ischemic states in a patient by contacting a sample of serum, plasma, fluid or tissue with a metal ion capable of binding to metal ion-binding sites in the sample to form a mixture, and then detecting the presence of unbound metal ions to determine the occurrence of ischemia. The reagents required to perform the method are incorporated into a test kit.
