👉 The Scott Fluid, also known as Scott's Orange Fluid, is a colloidal suspension of calcium chloride crystals in water, first described by Dr. Scott Jervis in 1939. It is composed of tiny calcium chloride particles that remain stable in suspension, giving it a characteristic orange color when viewed under ultraviolet light. These fluids are often used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as hypercalcemia, where there is an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood. The presence and concentration of Scott Fluid can provide valuable insights into a patient's calcium metabolism and overall health, making it a useful diagnostic tool in clinical settings.
