title: Mathematical model of chloride concentration in human blood.
abstract: This paper deals with mathematical modelling of blood chloride concentration. The main features of the model are that it reveals mathematically the physiological relationship between blood chloride and other electrolytes and serves as an accurate indirect method for chloride measurements with accuracy fulfilling clinical requirements. The main advantages of the method based on this model are that it is more comfortable than traditional methods and clinically less harmful for the patient under study. Experimental verification of the developed model ensures that the results of chloride measurements obtained using this model are significantly correlated with the results for the blood samples obtained from standard chloride analysers.
