1. A method of evaluating a patient having a condition associated with oxidative stress in a hospital prior to discharge to determine whether the patient should be discharged from the hospital, wherein the patient has an elevated oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) relative to normal patients, the method comprising the following steps:

  • a. measuring the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of a body fluid of the patient, wherein the body fluid is plasma;

    b. determining if the ORP is significantly different than the ORP of the same body fluid from normals; and

    c. discharging the patient from the hospital if the ORP is not significantly elevated compared to normals.
