Water and Electrolyte Content of Human Ileostomy Fluid After D-Aldosterone Administration

Water and electrolyte balance in subjects with a permanent ileostomy.

Water and electrolyte balance has been studied in 39 patients with a permanent ileostomy, who had had a proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis. The findings have been compared with those in 39 healthy subjects who were matched for age and sex. The ileostomists were found to lose excessive quantities of water and sodium in the ileostomy effluent compared with the corresponding losses in normal f...

Sphingolipids in human ileostomy content after meals containing milk sphingomyelin.

BACKGROUND Sphingomyelin occurs in modest amounts in the diet, in sloughed mucosal cells, and in bile. It is digested by the mucosal enzymes alkaline sphingomyelinase and ceramidase. In humans, alkaline sphingomyelinase is also secreted in bile. The digestion of sphingomyelin is slow and incomplete, which has been linked to the inhibition of cholesterol absorption and colonic carcinogenesis. ...

Human Water and Electrolyte Balance

Electrolyte and body water changes after trauma.

It has been known for a long time now that patients commonly gain sodium and chloride after injuries and surgery. It is also well known that despite this fact, the level of sodium in extracellular fluid very often falls, and is ascribed to a relatively greater gain of water than of salt, with resulting dilution of body fluids. However, the not uncommon associated rise in potassium and bicarbona...
