Disorders of plasma sodium.
To the Editor: The review by Sterns (Jan. 1 issue)1 on disorders of plasma sodium concentration, which are among the most frequently encountered (and mismanaged) problems in medicine, was enhanced by the use of illustrative cases (which appear in the Supplementary Appendix, available with the full text of the article at NEJM.org). After the second patient had a subarachnoid hemorrhage, plasma h...
متن کاملPlasma sodium: ignored and underestimated.
Salt intake is a major regulator of blood pressure. There is evidence that those who develop high blood pressure have an underlying defect in the ability of the kidney to excrete salt. It has been suggested that this results in a greater tendency to retain sodium and an increased compensatory response that is responsible for the rise in blood pressure. There is also evidence suggesting that sma...
متن کاملBlood pressure and plasma sodium and potassium.
1. Two thousand, three hundred and twenty-eight men and 1496 women between the ages of 35 and 64 years were screened for hypertension and their plasma sodium and potassium concentrations measured. Those on antihypertensive or diuretic treatment were excluded from further analysis. 2. After adjusting for age, body mass index and other variables, plasma potassium was negatively associated with bo...
متن کاملPlasma 11-hydroxycorticoid levels after carbenoxolone sodium.
A definite rise in plasma 11-hydroxycorticoid levels has been shown in eight patients with duodenal ulcer following the oral administration of carbenoxolone sodium. A similar rise was seen in one patient with sarcoidosis whose pituitary A.C.T.H. secretion had been acutely suppressed with dexamethasone. No such rise, however, was seen in three patients suffering from adrenal insufficiency. It is...
متن کاملPlasma sodium concentration: bearer of false prophecies?
Occasionally measurement of the serumn or plasma concentration of sodium may give rise to falsely low results when carried out on a flame photometer or by an indirect reading ion selective electrode. The patients at risk are those with abnormally high serum concentrations of lipid or protein. These are, however, few: initially all low sodium concentrations as measured by flame photometry should...
