PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of measuring oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of body fluid or tissue of a patient for diagnosing, evaluating or monitoring a patient suspected of being critically ill or for evaluating or monitoring a patient who has been diagnosed as being critically ill.SOLUTION: A method comprises the steps of: (a) measuring an ORP of a body fluid sample of a patient and/or a tissue sample of the patient; (b) performing one or both of the following steps of: (i) a step of determining whether the ORP is significantly different from the ORP of the same body fluid sample and/or a tissue sample from normal patients; and (ii) if the ORP of the body fluid sample and/or tissue sample of the patient has been measured at least once prior to current measurement, a step of determining whether the ORP has increased or decreased compared to the prior measurement.SELECTED DRAWING: None |
