چکیده

Serum and urinary electrolytes were estimated in 33 patients with hepatitis and 35 with cirrhosis. Forty two percent patients with hepatitis and 46% with cirrhosis bad hyponatraemia while 30% with hepatitis and 37% with cirrhosis had low serum potassium levels. Low urinary sodium was found in 27.3% cases of hepatitis and 40% cirrhotics and low urinary potassium in 21.2% and 45.7% cases of hepatitis and cirrhosis respectively. Hypokalaemia and low urinary sodium appear to be bad progaostic findings in cirrhosis (JPMA 33: 289, 1983).
