Cerium [Mass/volume] in Blood

Ce Bld-mCnc

Definition

  • Cerium nitrate has been used since 1976, usually in combination with silver sulphadiazine, as a topical antiseptic agent for the treatment of severe cutaneous burns. It binds and denatures the lipid protein complex liberated from burnt skin that is responsible for the immunosuppression associated with major cutaneous burns. It has only limited antimicrobial properties. Cerium is measured to study systemic uptake. [PMID: 15955636]
