    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Human Physiology

    Background:

    • Electrolyte balance is crucial for cellular function and overall health.
    • Disruptions in electrolyte levels (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium) can indicate various physiological or pathological conditions.
    • Understanding these levels in different biological compartments (plasma, erythrocytes, urine) is vital for diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels in blood plasma, erythrocytes, and 24-hour urine.
    • To identify alterations in these electrolyte concentrations in a specific patient cohort.
    • To evaluate the impact of treatment on erythrocyte calcium levels.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of electrolyte concentrations using established biochemical assays.
    • Measurement of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in plasma and erythrocytes.
    • Quantification of 24-hour urinary electrolyte excretion.

    Main Results:

    • Elevated erythrocyte sodium content was observed.
    • A decrease in plasma potassium levels and urinary potassium excretion was noted.
    • Erythrocyte calcium and magnesium levels showed a tendency to increase, with only calcium normalizing post-treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant alterations in electrolyte distribution were present, including increased erythrocyte sodium and decreased plasma/urinary potassium.
    • The observed electrolyte imbalances highlight the complexity of mineral metabolism in certain conditions.
    • Normalization of erythrocyte calcium post-treatment indicates a potential therapeutic target for electrolyte disturbances.
