PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of determining the overall oxidative status of a body fluid or a tissue of a patient by measuring the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the body fluid or tissue.SOLUTION: The method includes a. measuring the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of a body fluid of a patient, a tissue of the patient or both and b. performing one or both of the following steps; i. determining if the ORP is significantly different than the ORP of the same body fluid, tissue or both from normal patients and/or ii. if the ORP of the body fluid, tissue or both of the patient has been measured at least one time prior to the current measurement, determining if the ORP has increased or decreased compared to the prior measurement(s). |
