Absolute levels of total body sodium (TBNa) and total body chlorine (TBCl) were determined in 81 normal adults (39 males, 42 females) by means of total body neutron activation analysis (TBNAA). The ages of the subjects ranged from 30 to 90 yr. The mean values for both TBNa and TBCl...

Crystalloids have an osmotic pressure equivalent to plasma and contain water-soluble electrolytes such as sodium [15]. Colloids, which have a higher oncotic pressure, were designed to allow the supplied water to remain more effectively and durably in the intravascular compartment than crystalloids. ...
The body, or more precisely the adrenal gland, releases too much aldosterone here, which leads to an accumulation of water and sodium and thus to increased blood pressure.21 A study conducted in 2016 showed that 6% of the subjects with hypertension had Conn’s syndrome.22 Hyperthyroidism can ...
Usually we obtained approximately 2 ml of blood and divided it into three aliquots: about 500 anticoagulated in lyophilised EDTA K2 from Sarstedt (ref. 32332); 400 collected in 0.129 M sodium citrate solution in an Eppendorf microtube (ref. 72698), ratio 911; and about 500 ~1 drawn into ...
