Experimental Studies of Influences of Complexon Ⅲ, Ⅳ and HMP-Na on Metallic Elements of Cholelith / 昆明医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Although the efficacy of complexon Ⅲ (EDTA), complexon Ⅳ (CDTA) and HMP-Na (hexametaphosphate) as complex compounds of metallic elements of cholelith has been reported in many papers, it is still a question on deciding which is the best one. This article describes an experimental study of comparing the influence of 2% EDTA. 2% CDTA, 5%HMP—Na and deionic water on Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn of 30 cholelith samples. These elements were measured with atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results were compared to the group which was not treated. Our results demonstrate that 5% HMP-Na is the best complex compound for metallic elements of a pigment stone. This study provides an experimental basis for using an ideal complex compound in clinic to dissolve bile pigmental stones.
