Salivary analytes initially screened for dialysis correlation
| Analytes deemed not useful | Analytes deemed potentially useful |
|---|---|
| PO4 3 ‐ | NO2− |
| Glucose | UA |
| Thiols | Na+ |
| Esterase | Cl− |
| Nucleic acids | Total protein |
| Ca2+ | pH |
| Mg2+ | Amylase |
| K+ | Lactoferrin |
note: Analytes in italics showed differences between pre‐ and post‐dialysis saliva composition in initial screening. Analytes in boldface showed the best correlations; for more detail see text.
