Hypernatraemia in hospital populations.

Haemostatic mechanism in uraemia.

The haemostatic mechanism was investigated in 20 patients with renal failure, of whom nine had evidence of a bleeding tendency. A defect of platelet function was the most common finding. The effect of dialysis on the bleeding state is briefly discussed, and a scheme for the routine investigation of haemostasis in renal failure is put forward.

Hypernatraemia in very low birth weight babies has been well documented and is usually attributable to excessive insensible water loss. We report a case in which, despite a peak serum sodium concentration of 204 mmol/l, the baby survived without morbidity. Treatment was simply to increase the intake of free water in Dextrose.
