Sodium gluconate effect

Under alkaline cleaning conditions, sodium gluconate can be used to similar effect because the gluconate-ferric ion complex is particularly stable. 

Of all these products, sodium glucoheptonate has been the most widely used chelant in cooling water formulations. It shows a greater stability than sodium gluconate and retains the ability to chelate ions effectively in high pH water, which citrates and EDTA do not do so well. Sodium glucoheptonate is a sodium salt of polyhydroxymonocarboxylic acid (2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydroxy-s-heptonic acid). It is a reaction product of sodium cyanide and sucrose. 

The relative water-reducing effects of three water reducers added at 0.1% dosage are shown in Table Sodium gluconate appears to be more effective than glucose or lignosulfonate. 

Patients with acute hyperkalemia usually require other therapies to manage hyperkalemia until dialysis can be initiated. Patients who present with cardiac abnormalities caused by hyperkalemia should receive calcium gluconate or chloride (1 g intravenously) to reverse the cardiac effects. Temporary measures can be employed to shift extracellular potassium into the intracellular compartment to stabilize cellular membrane effects of excessive serum potassium levels. Such measures include the use of regular insulin (5 to 10 units intravenously) and dextrose (5% to 50% intravenously), or nebulized albuterol (10 to 20 mg). Sodium bicarbonate should not be used to shift extracellular potassium intracellularly in patients with CKD unless severe metabolic acidosis (pH less than 7.2) is present. These measures will decrease serum potassium levels within 30 to 60 minutes after treatment, but potassium must still be removed from the body. Shifting potassium to the intracellular compartment, however, decreases potassium removal by dialysis. Often, multiple dialysis sessions are required to remove potassium that is redistributed from the intracellular space back into the serum. 

Adverse effects of IV iron include allergic reactions, hypotension, dizziness, dyspnea, headaches, lower back pain, arthralgia, syncope, and arthritis. Some of these reactions can be minimized by decreasing the dose or rate of infusion. Sodium ferric gluconate and iron sucrose have better safety records than iron dextran. Iron dextran requires a test dose to reduce the risk of anaphylactic reactions. 

For the oxidation of glucose to Ca gluconate, an indirect electrooxidation via the intermediate formation of sodium hypobromite is effective [12] ... 

Intravenous injection of calcium gluconate can antagonize the cardiac effects of excess potassium. Also, intravenous injection of sodium bicarbonate and glucose will help diminish the effects of potassium hemodialysis overdose, while dialysis can be used to remove excess serum potassium.
