Chemical Concentration

Meaning

Chemical Concentration, in a clinical and physiological context, denotes the quantifiable amount of a specific substance dissolved or suspended within a defined volume of a biological fluid, such as serum, plasma, or urine. This measurement is fundamental to diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring, as it reflects the circulating or excretory levels of hormones, metabolites, electrolytes, or pharmaceutical agents. Accurate assessment of concentration is essential for determining the biological availability and potential effect of a compound at the target tissue level.
