About this document
Fantus Test for Urinary Chloride Analysis by Juan Carlos Enrique Maguiña is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the results of testing the accuracy and reliability of the Fantus test for estimating urinary chloride levels. It finds that while the test is generally unaffected by common urine anions like sulfate and phosphate, urates and carbonate can interfere with results. Carbonate interference increases if urine sits for over 24 hours. Accuracy also depends on the skill of the observer in producing equal drop sizes from a pipette. When compared to the more accurate Volhard titration method,
