Total body water and total body potassium in patients with continent ileostomies.

Total body water and total body potassium in patients with continent ileostomies.

Total body water and total body potassium were studied in 14 patients submitted to proctocolectomy six to 10 years after they had been provided with a continent ileostomy. Total body water was determined with an isotope dilution technique using tritiated water as a tracer. Total body potassium was determined by counting the gamma radiation from the naturally present nuclid 40K in a total body c...

Total body water and total body potassium in ileostomy patients before and after conversion to the continent ileostomy.

Total body water (TBW) and total body potassium (TBK) were studied in 40 ileostomists before (with conventional ileostomy) and one year after conversion to a continent ileostomy. Each patient acted as his own control. Total body water was determined by using an isotope dilution technique and TBK by counting the gamma radiation from the naturally present nuclide 40K in a whole body counter. Meas...

Total body potassium falls with age.

1. Plasma volume, 24 h urine sodium and total body potassium were similar among 89 previously untreated patients with mild hypertension and 89 control subjects matched for age and sex. 2. Total body potassium correlated with renin activity in both hypertensive patients and controls. 3. Renin activity and total body potassium fell significantly with age in both groups. 4. The relationship betwee...

Total exchangeable potassium and chloride and total body water in healthy men of varying fat content.

[Total exchangeable sodium, exchangeable potassium and total body water in some endocrine diseases].

概要 諸種 内分 泌疾患 々者についてtotal exchangeable sodium (Nae)お よびpotassium (Ke)を 測定 し,得 た成績 をtotal body water (TBW)か ら算出 したlean body massと の関連 において比較 した. 原発性 アル ドス テロ ン症ではNaeは 著増 し, Keは 減少 していた.一 方続発性 アル ドステ ロン症を伴な つた腎尿 細管 性 アシ ドージスでは, Naeお よびTBWの 増加は な くKeは 著減 していた. Cushing症 候 群 ではKeは 減少 していた. Addison病 では予想 されたNaeの 減少, Keの 増加 はみ られなかつた.褐 色 細胞腫 ではNae, Keお よびTBWは いずれ も正常 であつた.甲 状線機能亢 進症 ではNae増 加, Ke減 少 の傾 ...
