Sodium, potassium and water metabolism in myxoedema

Sodium, potassium and water metabolism in myxoedema.

In a combined radioactive isotope study, Nae, Ke, bromine space and total body water were measured in a group of fourteen hypothyroid subjects. These were compared with a 'control' group. Total body water and Nae were found to be increased in the hypothyroid subjects. In seven subjects, the measurements were repeated after treatment with thyroid hormone. Most of the subjects lost weight and sho...

Influence of aldosterone on sodium, water and potassium metabolism in chronic renal disease.

Influence of aldosterone on sodium, water and potassium metabolism in chronic renal disease. To evaluate the physiological importance of aldosterone in chronic renal disease, ii studies were performed in nine patients with renal impairment of varying etiology and severity during periods of normal and low sodium intake. Decreased sodium excretion during sodium restriction was accompanied by incr...

Interrelations between total exchangeable sodium, potassium, body water, and serum sodium and potassium concentrations in hyponatremic and normonatremic heart disease.

Survey of Fluoride, Chlorine, Potassium, Sodium, and Trihalomethane contents in the drinking water of five major universities in Iran

Water quality directly influences individual and public health. Monitoring of water supplies and their sanitation is of paramount importance. The present study aimed to determine the concentrations of fluoride, chlorine, potassium, sodium, and trihalomethanes in the drinking water of five major universities in Iran. This descriptive study was conducted during January 2016-2017. In total, 60 sam...
