[Changes in the rhythms of urinary sodium, potassium and chlorine excretion in patients with circulatory failure]
Abstract:
Measurements were made of the parameters (period, mesor, amplitude) of the rhythms of sodium, potassium and chlorine excretion with urine in patients with different stages of circulatory failure (CF). It has been shown that revelation of the status of neorhythmostasis is an early and sensitive criterion for estimating functions of electrolyte excretion by the kidneys in different CF stages. Dysrhythmostasis that increases depending on the stage of pathology attains maximum during stage IIB CF. In patients with stage IIB CF, there was an appreciable decrease of chlorine excretion mesor. This indicates that in solving the problem of deviation from normal, the parameters of the rhythm were not equally informative. The period turned out the most sensitive parameter of the rhythm. Determination of the time organization of functions and processes provides an undoubtedly more complete idea of the body on the whole.
