Alterations in metabolic activity may be used as an indicator of tissue perfusion and haemodynamic status in peripheral ischaemia. A new type of microelectrode was used to measure pH in the skin of patients with vascular disease, and a decrease in pH was demonstrated along the leg, commensurate with the severity of the disease. Measurement of skin pH by this technique is easy and may be useful for assessing tissue perfusion or skin viability in other conditions.
代谢活性的改变可作为外周缺血时组织灌注和血流动力学状态的指标。一种新型微电极被用于测量血管疾病患者皮肤的pH值，结果显示沿腿部pH值降低，且与疾病严重程度相称。用这种技术测量皮肤pH值很容易，可能有助于评估其他情况下的组织灌注或皮肤活力。
