Electrochemical Sensing of Urinary Chloride Ion Concentration for Near Real-Time Monitoring

Urinary chloride concentration is a valuable health metric that can aid in the early detection of serious conditions, such as acid base disorders, acute heart failure, and incidences of acute renal failure in the intensive care unit. Physiologically, urinary chloride levels frequently change and are...

description Urinary chloride concentration is a valuable health metric that can aid in the early detection of serious conditions, such as acid base disorders, acute heart failure, and incidences of acute renal failure in the intensive care unit. Physiologically, urinary chloride levels frequently change and are difficult to measure, involving time-consuming and inconvenient lab testing. Thus, near real-time simple sensors are needed to quickly provide actionable data to inform diagnostic and treatment decisions that affect health outcomes. Here, we introduce a chronopotentiometric sensor that utilizes commercially available screen-printed electrodes to accurately quantify clinically relevant chloride concentrations (5–250 mM) in seconds, with no added reagents or electrode surface modification. Initially, the sensor’s performance was optimized through the proper selection of current density at a specific chloride concentration, using electrical response data in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy. We developed a unique swept current density algorithm to resolve the entire clinically relevant chloride concentration range, and the chloride sensors can be reliably reused for chloride concentrations less than 50 mM. Lastly, we explored the impact of pH, temperature, conductivity, and additional ions (i.e., artificial urine) on the sensor signal, in order to determine sensor feasibility in complex biological samples. This study provides a path for further development of a portable, near real-time sensor for the quantification of urinary chloride.
