[Chemical element levels in various human biological media].
Analysis of element composition (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, iron, total sulfur and its compounds, chloride, and inorganic phosphorus) in 40 normal subjects (22 women and 18 men aged 17-30 years) showed that the composition is specific for each of the analyzed media (blood, plasma, erythrocytes, urine, saliva, exhaled air condensate). Element composition of exhaled air condensate is described for the first time. Analysis of element composition in 102 patients with asthma demonstrated characteristic shifts in the concentrations of some macro- and trace elements, which confirms the clinical significance of analysis and correction of deviations in the element composition of biological media.
