LOINC description : Cerium nitrate has been used since 1976, usually in combination with silver sulphadiazine,
as a topical antiseptic agent for the treatment of severe cutaneous burns. It binds
and denatures the lipid protein complex liberated from burnt skin that is responsible
for the immunosuppression associated with major cutaneous burns. It has only limited
antimicrobial properties. Cerium is measured to study systemic uptake. [PMID: 15955636];
