Concentrations of organic acids in blood

Virtually no other quantitative data on concentrations of organic acids in blood from normal healthy individuals have been reported, although Chalmers (1974) recorded the citric acid concentration in blood plasma as determined by gas-liquid chromatography, as 2.6 mg (100 ml) in agreement with data obtained by enzymic methods. Some other data on individual acids have been obtained in studies of specific disease states and these are recorded in the appropriate sections of Part III.
