Birmingham Medical Research Expeditionary Society 1977 Expedition: serum and urine proteins during a high altitude trek.
نویسنده
چکیده
Serum and urine proteins were measured daily in 17 subjects undertaking a typical high altitude Himalayan trek. Marked changes occurred in a variety of serum proteins as a result of plasma volume alterations and 'stress'. There was only a sporadic increase in proteinuria. None of the changes was related to the development of acute mountain sickness.

Continuous 24-hr urine collections were made by 17 subjects during a trek to 5400 m. Fluid intake was recorded by diary. Weight and fat folds were measured daily. The results were compared with daily measurements of packed cell volume (PCV) and reticulocyte count. Early fluid retention was matched by a fall in PCV. There was a diuresis with negative fluid balance towards the end of the ascent a...

The heart rate response to exercise was studied in 17 normal subjects before, during and after a 21-day Himalayan trek to 5490 m. The group were fitter before the trek when compared to normal subjects of a similar age (P less than 0.001) having a lower heart rate response to exercise for their lean body mass. The trek significantly increased the 'fitness' of the group as a whole (P less than 0....
متن کاملExpedition : Serum and urine proteins during a high altitude trek
Introduction Exposure to high altitude is known to alter the concentrations of several serum proteins. Rennie et al. (1972) measured the immunoglobulins IgG, IgA and IgM plus albumin and oc2-macroglobulin. All these proteins increased significantly in concentration. Hannon, Chinn and Shields (1969) showed that the concentrations of the serum fractions measured by electrophoresis also altered ma...

متن کاملChanges in balance and joint position sense during a 12-day high altitude trek: The British Services Dhaulagiri medical research expedition
Postural control and joint position sense are essential for safely undertaking leisure and professional activities, particularly at high altitude. We tested whether exposure to a 12-day trek with a gradual ascent to high altitude impairs postural control and joint position sense. This was a repeated measures observational study of 12 military service personnel (28±4 years). Postural control (sw...
