Checking potassium and calcium in a finger-prick blood sample
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study checks if a new way of measuring potassium and calcium from a small drop of blood (like a finger prick) works well. If you're at least 18 and willing to give a tiny blood sample, you can help improve these tests.
