Full textAbstract:
Pregnancy is a period of altered body systems. This study is aimed at assessing electrolytes level in the three trimesters of pregnancy. Blood samples of one hundred pregnant women in their various trimesters were collected by aseptic techniques into a lithium heparin bottle for electrolytes analysis. Using standard laboratory methods, the serum electrolytes level were analyzed using an automated blood gas and electrolytes analyzer (OPTI CCA – TS2). Based on Reference values of electrolytes during pregnancy, 94% had normal serum sodium concentration, potassium serum concentration 48% and Chloride serum while calcium serum concentration was low 12% across the trimesters. Descriptive statistics were used (frequency and percentage distribution) for socio-demographic characteristics; chi-square was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 20.0 was used to support the data analysis. The study revealed no significant relationship between electrolytes level and trimesters of pregnant women receiving antenatal care in the selected obstetric and gynaecological hospitals in a low income country. This may suggest poor kidney adaptation in maintaining electrolyte balance in pregnancy among the women, Therefore there may be need to assess electrolytes levels during antenatal care as part of routine investigations.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a gold standard for long term enteral feeding. Neurologic dysphagia and head/neck cancer are the most common indications for PEG as they can lead to protein-energy malnutrition and serum electrolyte abnormalities, with potential negative impact on metabolic balance. Refeeding syndrome may also be related with severe electrolyte changes in PEG-fed patients and contribute to poor prognosis. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the changes in serum concentrations of the main electrolytes and its possible association with the outcome. METHODS: Retrospective study of patients followed in our Artificial Nutrition Clinic, submitted to PEG from 2010 to 2016, having head/neck cancer or neurologic dysphagia, who died under PEG feeding. Serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chlorine, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus) were evaluated immediately before the gastrostomy procedure. Survival after PEG until death was recorded in months. RESULTS: We evaluated 101 patients, 59 with electrolyte alterations at the moment of the gastrostomy. Sodium was altered in 32 (31.7%), magnesium in 21 (20.8%), chlorine in 21 (20.8%), potassium in 14 (13.8%), calcium in 11 (10.9 %) and phosphorus in 11 (10.9%). The survival of patients with low sodium (<135 mmol/L) was significantly lower when compared to patients with normal/high values, 2.76 months vs 7.80 months, respectively (P=0.007). CONCLUSION: Changes in serum electrolytes of patients undergoing PEG were very common. More than half showed at least one abnormality, at the time of the procedure. The most frequent was hyponatremia, which was associated with significantly shorter survival, probably reflecting severe systemic metabolic distress.

Despite decline in under five mortality in the last few decades, neonatal mortality rate has not changed substantially. A large number of these newborn are premature or low birth weight. Premature infants are at increased risk of developing dehydration or overhydration. Therefore, high index of suspicion, prompt recognition and thorough understanding of common electrolyte abnormalities are necessary to improve neonatal outcome. It seems to be essential for immediate management for planning appropriate fluid and electrolyte therapy and thereby for improved outcome. To study the electrolytes abnormalities in preterm low birth weight neonates information were collected who gave consent and participated in the study willingly. Duration of data collection was approximately 6 (Six) months. Patients admitted to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital and after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria a simple random sampling technique was applied for selecting the sample patients. Total 50 preterm LBW neonates fulfilling the inclusion criteria were studied during this study period. Abnormal electrolytes were documented in 20(40%) preterm LBW neonates of which hyperkalemia was the predominant electrolyte abnormality found in 8(16.0%) neonates, hyponatremia was found in 7 (14.0%), hypokalemia in 3 (6.0%) and hypernatremia in 2 (4.0%). It was observed that electrolyte abnormalities are common in preterm LBW neonates. So, identification of associated electrolyte abnormalities and proper management of fluid and electrolytes and close monitoring are important.

Background Electrolytes play an important role in controlling acid base balance, blood clotting, and body fluid and muscle contractions. Serum electrolytes concentrations are most commonly used tests for assessment of a patient’s clinical conditions, and are associated with morbidity and mortality. Any derangements from the normal range of electrolyte levels in the body is described as electrolyte disorders. The Current study was aimed to determine serum electrolytes disorder and its associated factors among adults admitted with metabolic syndrome at Jimma medical center, South West Ethiopia. Methods A Facility based cross sectional study was conducted on 256 patients admitted medical center with metabolic syndrome during the study period. The World Health Organization stepwise assessment tools and patients’ medical records were used to collect information on factors associated with electrolyte disorders. Bivariable and Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with electrolyte disorder at the level of significance of p value <0.25 with 95% confidence interval of crude odds ratio and <0.05 with 95% confidence interval of adjusted odds ratio respectively. Results The overall prevalence of electrolyte disorders was 44.1% (95%CI:40.99–47.20) with hyponatremia 42.9% (95%CI:39.81–45.99) as the leading electrolyte disorder followed by hypokalemia 20.7% (95%CI:18.17–23.23), hypochloremia 17.6% (95%CI:15.22–19.98) and hypocalcemia 9.4% (95%CI:7.57–11.22). Non-formal education [AOR: 6.81; 95%CI:(3.48,17.01)] alcohol consumption [AOR: 4.28; 95%CI:(1.71,10.70)], diuretics, diuretics [AOR: 4.39; 95%CI:(2.10,9.15)], antidiabetics [AOR: 5.18; 95%CI:(2.44,11.00)], and body mass index [AOR: 11.51; 95%CI:(3.50,18.81)] were identified as independent factors for electrolyte disturbance in multivariable logistic regression. Conclusion The finding of the study revealed that nearly half the study participants with metabolic syndromes had electrolyte disorder. Educational status, habit of alcohol consumption, diuretics, antidiabetics, and having higher body mass index were the independent factors associated with electrolyte disorders. Determination of Serum electrolytes, proper administration of diuretic and health education on behavioral factors were the necessary measures that should be done by concerned bodies to reduce electrolytes disorder.

Circulating catecholamine that is increased in early phase of myocardial infarction alters serum electrolyte levels which might predispose to serious ventricular arrhythmias. In this study the effect of pretreatment of carvedilol on adrenaline-induced changes in the serum electrolytes (Mg2+, K+, Ca2+, Na+) was evaluated in rats. Adrenaline was administered at a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight subcutaneously 2 injections 24 hours apart and serum electrolytes were estimated at 12 hours, 24 hours and 7 days after the 2nd injection of adrenaline. Adrenaline administration initially caused hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia and hyponatremia, which were restored to normal spontaneously within 7 days. Pretreatment of carvedilol orally at a dose of 1 mg/kg body weight for 2 weeks significantly prevented initial reduction in serum electrolyte levels induced by adrenaline. It was concluded that prophylactic use of carvedilol might prevent the serious consequences of myocardial infarction as sudden cardiac death due to arrhythmia caused by electrolyte changes.

Background: The thyroid hormone is a central regulator of body functions; disorder of thyroid functions is considered to cause electrolytic disorders. Thus the main objective of this study is to assess the correlation of thyroid dysfunction with serum electrolyte levels. Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study,100 patients who attended Manipal Teaching Hospital having thyroid hormones disarrangement were included. Estimation of serum electrolytes were also done in those patients. Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and subclinical hyperthyroidism were excluded. Thyroid hormones were estimated by electrochemiluminiscence immunoassay (eCLIA) and Serum sodium and potassium was estimated by ion selective electrode (ISE) method. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS 23 by Spearman’s correlation test and Chi square test. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered as statistical significance. Results: The 75% of total patients were found to be having hypothyroidism and 25% to have hyperthyroidism. Spearman’s correlation coefficient for Na+ and K+ vs fT3, fT4 showed positive correlation (p-value<0.001) and Na+ and K+ vs TSH showed negative correlation. There was significant association between Na+ and thyroid hormones (p-value<0.001) but no association between K+ and thyroid hormones. (p-value>0.001). Conclusions: The current study reveals that decrease in thyroid hormones may lead to hyponatremia. Knowledge of this significant association will be worthwhile value for clinicians, to manage their patients optimally.

The article presents the results of research content of electrolytes in the blood sport horses before and after exercise. The study was conducted on 50 horses Ukrainian warmlood, Hanoverian and Westphalian breeds. Research biochemical blood parameters in horses, including the maintenance of electrolytes used to determine the effect of exercise on physical performance of animals. Horses electrolytes play an important role in maintaining osmotic pressure, fluid balance, so it is important to determine the contents of the horses during and after exercise. Established that the content of calcium and phosphorus in serum horses after exercise of medium intensity tended to decrease. Exercise in sport horses not affect the metabolism of magnesium in the blood. After exercise serum sport horses significantly reduced in sodium and potassium, which is due to loss of electrolytes through sweat and development electrolyte imbalance.

Objective. To determine the electrolyte derangement following transurethral resection of prostate (TURP).Methods. All patients undergoing TURP from June 2012 to April 2013 were included. Preoperative electrolytes were performed within a week of procedures. Monopolar TURP using 1.5% glycine was performed. Serum Na+and K+were assessed within 1 hour postoperatively and subsequently if clinically indicated.Results. The study included 280 patients. Sixty-six patients (23.6%) had electrolyte derangement after TURP. Patients with deranged electrolytes were older (mean age of 73.41 ± 4.08 yrs. versus 68.93 yrs. ± 10.34) and had a longer mean resection time (42.5 ± 20.04 min versus 28.34 ± 14.64 min). Mean weight of tissue resected (41.49 ± 34.46 g versus 15.33 ± 9.74 g) and volume of irrigant used (23.55 ± 15.20 L versus 12.81 ± 7.57 L) were also significantly higher in patients with deranged electrolytes (allp=0.00). On multivariate logistic regression analysis preoperative sodium level was found to be a significant predictor of postoperative electrolyte derangement (odds ratio 0.267, S.E. = 0.376, andpvalue = 0.00).Conclusion. Electrolyte derangement occurs in older patients, with larger amount of tissue and longer time of resection and higher volume of irrigant, and in those with lower serum preoperative sodium levels.

Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is one of the most common health problems. SAM children are more prone to serious infections that culminate in different co-morbid conditions and result in electrolyte disturbances. Objective: To study the electrolyte profile in severely malnourished children. Subjects and Methods:This was Hospital based cross sectional study. Duration: 1 year from June 2018 to May 2019. Setting: Department of Pediatrics. Participants: 50 Children.Detailed history and physical examination were made. Anthropometric measurements, such as weight and height, were recorded. On admission, electrolytes were performed and children were classified as either hypo / hypernatramic or hypo / hyperkalemic, which depend on the levels of the electrolytes.Result:The Hyponatremia was high with 72% on the day 1, and hypernatremia was 6%, on day 3 hyponatremia was 60% and hypernatremia was 4% and on day 8 Normal sodium was seen in around 68% of the children. The mean sodium significantly improved from day 1 to day 8 with a mean of 135.8±9.9 on the day 8th. The Hypokalemia was highest with 38% on the day 1, Hyperkalemia was seen in 28% of the patients on day 3 and normal potassium was seen in 80% of the children on the day 8th. The mean potassium significantly improved from day 1 to 8 with a mean of 5.5±1.24 on the day 8th. Conclusion:Most of the children with SAM and electrolyte derangements also had diarrhoea. Therefore determination of the electrolyte profile of all patients with SAM immediately on admission and proceeding days after admission is vital as it helps the clinician to decide on the most appropriate fluids to give to help reduce on the morbidity and mortality associated with life threatening electrolyte derangements.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractMalnourished HIV-infected patients starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) are at high risk of early mortality, some of which may be attributed to altered electrolyte metabolism. We used data from a randomised controlled trial of electrolyte-enriched lipid-based nutritional supplements to assess the association of baseline and time-varying serum phosphate and K concentrations with mortality within the first 12 weeks after starting ART. Baseline phosphate results were available from 1764 patients and there were 9096 subsequent serum phosphate measurements, a median of 6 per patient. For serum K there were 1701 baseline and 8773 subsequent measures, a median of 6 per patient. Abnormally high or low serum phosphate was more common than high or low serum K. Controlling for other factors found to affect mortality in this cohort, low phosphate which had not changed from the previous time interval was associated with increased mortality; the same was not true for high phosphate or for high or low K. Both increases and decreases in serum electrolytes from the previous time interval were generally associated with increased mortality, particularly in the electrolyte-supplemented group. The results suggest that changes in serum electrolytes, largely irrespective of the starting point and the direction of change, were more strongly associated with mortality than were absolute electrolyte levels. Although K and phosphate are required for tissue deposition during recovery from malnutrition, further studies are needed to determine whether specific supplements exacerbate physiologically adverse shifts in electrolyte levels during nutritional rehabilitation of ill malnourished HIV patients.

Aim: To measure the levels of Serum electrolytes (Na+, K+ ,Cl )in type II DM individuals and to compare it with healthy controls. Methods: A case control study was conducted at Medicine Department, from March 2019 to September 2019. A total of 60 patients ,comprised of 30 confirmed type II DM patients as cases and 30 healthy individuals of similar criteria were treated as controls. In both the groups,biochemical measurement of Serum electrolytes (Na+, K+ ,Cl ),FBS was studied and the results were compared. Results: Inindividuals with Diabetes mellitus sodium and chloride showed insignificant alterations.There was an increase in serum potassium levels which was found to be statistically highly significant (p-value less than or equal to 0.05) . The drift of potassium from intracellular space to extracellular space leads to Hyperkalaemia which is due torenal impairment, insulin deficiency or hypertonicity. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is significant association of potassium with hyperglycemic crisis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thus serum electrolytes has to be routinely monitored in diabetic individuals since electrolyte derangements are markedly found in uncontrolled diabetes.

The effect on thyroid hormones on electrolytes and minerals has not been well established and the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Only few data on the association between thyroid function and electrolyte disorders exists. Thus our aim was to assess the levels of serum electrolytes and minerals in the patients with thyroid disorders.Materials and methods: 75 patients and 30 controls were included. Thyroid hormones(T3, T4, TSH) were measured by vidas autoanalyser. Serum calcium, phosphorous and magnesium were estimated by kit based method using semiautoanalyser. Serum sodium, potassium and chlorides were estimated using ion selective electrodes. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 16.Results: Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and overt hypothyroidism showed significant decrease in serum calcium and sodium levels and significant increase in serum phosphorous, magnesium, potassium and chloride levels(p<0.05). Incase of subclinical hyperthyroidism significant difference could not be obtained among controls and patients(p>0.05). However for overt hyperthyroid patients, serum phosphorous was significantly decreased and serum sodium was increased significantly(p<0.05). Rest of the results were non significant. When correlated with TSH, serum calcium and sodium showed negative correlation whereas it was positive for serum phosphorous, magnesium, potassium and chloride incase of hypothyroidism. For hyperthyroid patients, correlation was negative for magnesium and chloride whereas positive for the rest parameters. But none of correlations were statistically significant(p>0.05).Conclusion: Thyroid patients should be regularly checked for serum electrolytes. Early detection and treatment can prevent the further complications and will be helpful during the management of thyroid patients.

Background: Patients with ileostomies are well known to be susceptible to extracellular fluid volume depletion as a result of fluid and solute losses that are greater than intake. However, electrolyte disorders accompanying these episodes of volume depletion are not well delineated. Objective: To find out serum electrolytes changes observed in patients undergone permanent or temporary ileostomy. Method: This prospective observational study was carried out in the Department of Colorectal Surgery, BSMMU, Dhaka, from January 2018 to December 2018. Fifty patients underwent permanent or temporary ileostomy and postoperatively treated with intravenous fluid and electrolytes at least up to 3rd POD along with gradual resumption of oral intake or ileostomy feeding and managed at least for 5 days were included in this study. Electrolyte was measured preoperatively and 3rd and 5th POD and observed the changes. Result: Males were predominant than females (1.17:1). Most of the patients were in age group 31 – 40 years. Mean age was 42.4±12.5 years. Serum sodium (Na) and serum potassium (K) were reduced at POD 3 and at POD 5 compared to pre-operative level. Serum sodium concentration was 136.6±3.75 mmol/L pre operatively and reduced to 135.1 ±2.98 mmol/L at 3rd POD and 134.8±3.04 mmol/L at 5th POD. Similarly, serum potassium concentration was 4.0±0.49 mmol/L pre operatively and reduced to 3.8±0.70 mmol/L at 3rd POD and 3.8±0.50 mmol/L at 5th POD. Both serum Na and serum K level reduced significantly in POD 3 and in POD 5 in comparison to pre-operative values (p<0.05). Regarding serum Cl and serum HCO3 level no statistically significant difference were observed (p>0.05). Conclusion: Serum sodium and potassium concentration reduced statistically significantly after permanent ileostomy. Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2021; 47(1): 78-81

Background: Prolonged exercise leads to progressive water and electrolyte loss from the body as sweat is secreted to promote heat loss. The rate of sweating depends on many factors and is increased in proportion to the work rate and the environmental temperature and humidity. Prolong exercise could lead to an alteration in electrolyte concentrations and this could lead to deleterious effects in the body. Aim: To determine the effect of Physical Exercise on Serum Electrolytes Urea and Creatinine in undergraduate footballers in Anambra State. Method: Six football teams comprising of 11 players each were grouped into 3 sets. Each set containing 22 players was allowed to play football for at least 2hours with a 15 minutes break interval. They were allowed to take only 250mls water during this exercising period. Blood samples were collected from all the subjects prior to the exercise from anticubital veins with the subjects in sitting position. Post-Exercise blood Samples were collected within 5 minutes after and 2hrs after the exercise. The blood samples were also analyzed for serum electrolytes, urea and creatinine. Blood sample for calcium was collected after removing the tourniquet for 2 minutes. The serum concentrations of sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride and calcium were estimated using ion-selective electrodes while urea and creatinine were estimated using standard colorimetric methods. Results: There was no significant difference in mean concentrations of serum electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl- and HCO3-) profile levels in pre-exercising subjects when compared with the post-exercising period. (P> 0.05). However, the mean levels of Ca2+ increased significantly in post-exercise period when compared with the pre-exercising condition (P < 0.05). The findings of this work suggest that short duration of exercise does not alter significantly the serum electrolytes.

Introduction: Type II diabetes mellitus is considered as a global epidemic that can lead to the complication related to renal, retinal and vascular system. Measurement of ions like sodium, potassium and chloride can be useful as a marker for the patient’s susceptibility to develop diabetes related complications. Thus, our study focuses on observing the electrolyte imbalances in type II diabetes patients. Methods: This was a comparative cross-sectional study conducted at Star Hospital, Lalitpur, Nepal. A total of 400 (200 type II diabetic and 200 healthy subjects) participants were enrolled. Blood sample was collected and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was measured by glucose oxidase-peroxidase method and serum sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and chloride (Cl-) were measured by ion selective electrode method. Results: In type 2 diabetic patients serum sodium was decreased while potassium and chloride was found to be increased than healthy subjects. We found negative correlation between fasting plasma glucose and sodium (r= -0.36, p= 0.001). On the other hand positive correlation was found between fasting plasma glucose with potassium and chloride (r=0.194, p=0.006 and r= 0.36, p=0.001) respectively. Conclusion: The serum sodium was found to be decreased with the rise in fasting plasma glucose. On the flip side, serum potassium and chloride was increased with the increase in fasting plasma glucose level. Therefore management of type 2 diabetes must include electrolyte profile test to monitor increase or decrease of electrolyte concentration to prevent the patient’s risk of developing the diabetes associated complications. Key words: Diabetes mellitus, electrolytes, glucose, sodium, potassium, chloride.

BACKGROUND:Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disease worldwide. Electrolyte played significant roles in thenormal functioning of the body, and deregulation is indicative of different types of disease and electrolyte disturbances are often reported in type 2 DM (T2DM).
AIM:The aim of the study was to estimate the levels of serum electrolytes in outpatients with T2DM and correlate serum electrolytes with random blood sugar (RBS).
MATERIALS AND METHODS:Patients with T2DM visiting the outpatient Departments of Medicine, between April 2016 and March 2017 were included. Of 148 diagnosed T2DM cases, 74 were had RBS level 300mg/dL (group-1) and 74 had RBSlevel 300mg/dL (group-2). Serum sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-) levels were measured by using the Roche 9180electrolyte analyzer.
RESULTS:In this study, there was a significant decrease in serum Na+levels in group 1 (131.834.36 mmol/L) compared to group 2(134.154.90mmol/L).The serum levels of K+was found to be increased in group 1 (4.510.61 mmol/L) in comparison with group 2 (4.260.52 mmol/L). In group-1, an inverse relationship was present between serum Na+(r=-0.342) and Cl-(r=-0.538) with RBS which was statistically significant. In group-2, a significant correlation was present between serum K+and RBS (r=0.356, p0.05).
CONCLUSIONS:The study showed lower levels of Na+and higher K+levels in group-1 compared to group-2 subjects. This study showed that the distribution of serum Na+and K+levels is dependent on plasma glucose levels in patients with DM and also suggests that monitoring the electrolyte levels in hyperglycemia is pertinent in the management of diabetes.

Objective: Diabetes is a group of disorders characterized by high blood glucose levels. Disturbances in serum electrolytes like sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) are found in diabetes. The purpose of the study was to investigate the disturbances in concentrations of serum electrolytes in hyperglycemic crisis and the effect of syzygium cumini and momordica charantia standardized aqueous extracts on serum electrolytes (Na+and K+) in normal and diabetic rats.Methods: Diabetes is induced by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan at a dose of 120 mg/kg b. w in rats. Rats were divided into 5 groups (normal control, disease control, metformin, test 1 and test 2). In test groups 1 and 2, SASESC (standardized aqueous seed extract of syzygium cumini) and SAFEMC (standardized aqueous fruit extract of momordica charantia) were respectively administered orally to alloxan induced diabetic rats, and their serum electrolyte levels were observed at 1st, 4th, 7th and 14th days.Results: By the 14thday, the Na+ and K+ levels in groups 4 and 5 were almost normal. However, in group 3 (standard), Na+levels were relatively lower and K+ levels were relatively higher than groups 4 and 5 (test). In group 2 (disease control) as compared to group 1 (normal control), a decrease in Na+ and increase in K+ levels was observed even on day 14.Conclusion: Treatment with anti diabetic drugs like metformin, syzygium cumini (test-1), momordica charantia (test-2) restored the electrolyte levels almost back to normal over a period of study (14 d). There was significant (**P<0.01, *P<0.05) normalization of electrolyte levels in diabetic rats. It was concluded that syzygium cumini and momordica charantia showed better efficiency in restoring the electrolyte imbalance as compared to metformin during our study.

MANAGEMENT OF FLUIDS AND electrolytes is crucial when caring for the high-risk neonate. Fluid and electrolyte requirements vary with developmental limitations related to gestational age, as well as by the diagnosis or disease process involved. Management is further complicated by the physiologic contraction of extracellular water, and subsequent weight loss, that occurs during the first week after birth. Therefore, fluid and electrolyte balance requires meticulous assessment of both physiologic and clinical data in conjunction with laboratory data. Data to be followed include heart rate, blood pressure, skin turgor, capillary refill, mucus membranes, fullness of the anterior fontanel, daily (or more frequent) weights, intake and output, creatinine levels, and daily (or more frequent) serum electrolyte levels.1,2 Very low birth weight (VLBW) and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants may require an assessment of weight as often as three times a day and sampling of serum electrolytes as often as every four to eight hours.1

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder / disease characterized by high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) with changes in carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism in the body due to disruption in insulin action, insulin secretion or both. These metabolic changes affect the concentration of electrolytes. Electrolytes contained in the body play an important role in many body processes, such as controlling fluid levels, acid base balance (pH), nerve conduction, blood clotting and muscle contraction. Sodium, potassium and chloride are the most common macroelectrolytes and correlate with diabetes mellitus. In this study, we examined the prevalence of diabetes and its relationship to electrolyte concentrations in 28 subjects, divided into two groups: group A consisted of 14 diabetic patients in Labuang Baji Hospital and group B consisting of 14 non-diabetic subjects. The results of the research conducted showed that serum electrolyte levels (Na +, K +, Cl-) for the control were all in the normal range. In contrast, serum electrolyte (Na +, Cl-) levels have two patients who have Na + electrolyte levels below the normal range.

Background: Diarrhoeal disease contributes significantly to preventable deaths among under-fives globally. Associated dyselectrolytemia is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in these children. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and pattern of serum electrolyte derangement among under-fives with dehydration due to acute diarrhoea.Methods: It was a hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia involving 150 under-five children with dehydration due to acute diarrhoea from October 2018 to January, 2020. Clinical detail and degree of dehydration were recorded. The serum electrolytes were estimated using Ion selective electrode method.Results: The overall prevalence of electrolyte derangement was 62.6%. Hyponatraemia was the commonest electrolyte derangement, accounting for 31.3% of cases. Hypokalaemia and metabolic acidosis occurred in 24% and 12.7% of cases respectively. Across the different degrees of dehydration hyponatremia was 5 times more likely to develop in the severely dehydrated (OR 5.25, p=0.001) compared to the mildly dehydrated. The odds of developing hypokalaemia were 17 times more likely in the moderately dehydrated (OR 17.21, p=0.007) and 38 times more likely in the severely dehydrated Subjects (OR 38.50, p≤0.001).Conclusions: The frequency of electrolyte derangements was high and increased with the increasing severity of dehydration. Routine estimation of serum electrolytes is advocated for under-five children with acute diarrhoea, especially with moderate and severe dehydration. Also, the use of sodium and potassium-containing fluids can be instituted as choice fluids in resource-poor settings without laboratory support.Background: Diarrhoeal disease contributes significantly to preventable deaths among under-fives globally.

Mannitol, an osmotic agent and a free radical scavenger with neuroprotective properties, have been reported in many studies to decrease cerebral oedema , infarct size and neurological deficit in patients with stroke. The present study was carried out in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics in collaboration with the Departments of Medicine and Neurology of Sylhet M.A.G Osmani Medical College and Hospital to evaluate the effect of mannitol on serum electrolytes in stroke patients. A total number of Forty five (45) acute stroke patients were randomly allocated in two groups- 23 patients received mannitol and 22 patients did not receive mannitol. On Day 1 after measuring serum electrolyte levels of both groups, mannitol receiving group was given infusion mannitol 1 gm/kg IV bolus followed by 0.5 gm/kg IV 6 hourly till 3rd day and then again on Day 3 serum electrolyte levels of both groups were measured. Predisposing risk factors, egsmoking, hypertension, dyslipidaemia were also analyzed. RBS (Random Blood Sugar) and serum creatinine were estimated before treatment initiation with aim to assess hyperglycaemia and renal impairment respectively. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS program using unpaired ‘t’ test between two groups and between Day 1 and Day 3 by paired ‘t’ test. The result showed that serum sodium and potassium at Day 1 and Day 3 were almost similar between mannitol receiving group and mannitol non-receiving group ( P>0.05 for each component). After infusion of mannitol till third day, no electrolyte imbalance was noted. The study depicts that mannitol can be safely given to stroke patients as there were no change in electrolyte balance till third day. Bangladesh Journal of Neuroscience 2016; Vol. 32 (1): 21-27

Introduction. The study of the concentration of main electrolytes in serum of blood and erythrocytes in neonates with impaired renal function due to asphyxia is important, because it allows determining violations of their content and balance, tactics of infusion and diuretic therapy. The purpose of the work is explore the features of the content and balance of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium) in serum and red blood cells of newborns with disturbance kidney function due to asphyxia. Materials and methods. The study involved 200 term infants with signs of disturbance kidney function: 100 children who have suffered severe asphyxia, 100 children – with moderate asphyxia. Comparison group consisted of 20 infants without asphyxia at birth. The content of electrolytes determined by emission photometry, also expected ratios in pairs Na/K and Ca/Mg and transmembrane ratio of trace elements. Results and discussion. The critical period of formation electrolyte imbalances in neonates with impaired renal function due to moderate asphyxia is the early neonatal period, in case of severe asphyxia – all neonatal period. The feature of ischemic renal impairment in newborns is the development of serum hypernatremia and hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia, decrease the ratio of Na/K and increase Ca/Mg. Red blood cell pool of macroelements in case of neonatorum ischemic nephropathy is characterized by the growth of sodium level and deficiency of potassium, calcium and magnesium, as well as growth transmineralisation Na/K ratio and decrease Ca/Mg. Growth transmembrane ratios relative to sodium and magnesium reflects their transport into the cell, and reducing ratios relative potassium and calcium indicates the predominance of these electrolyte transport in the extracellular fluid. Changes in serum and intracellular electrolyte content and balance must be considered during infusion therapy in infants with impaired renal function due to asphyxia.

INTRODUCTION:Hyponatremia and hypernatremia are both possible outcomes.Changes in potassium, particularly Hypokalemia, as well as fluid content, are common in clinical practise. The most prevalent reasons are syndrome of inadequate anti-diuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), cerebral salt wasting (CSW), and the use of diuretics such as Furosemide and Mannitol.Another key factor that influences morbidity and mortality is age. Getting older has a negative impact. In most parts of the world, isotonic fluid may be provided without major fluid disruptions in the body, making effective fluid management of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) a difficulty.AIM:Study of RTA Patients with Serum Electrolytes and Serum Bilirubin LevelsMATERIAL AND METHOD:This study included total 40 patients comes in IPD and OPD department of medicine & psychiatrics with collaboration in Department of biochemistry Dr. Ulhas Patil Medical College and Hospital Jalgaon, Maharashtra RESULT:In table 1 show that comparison between RTA and traumatic subjects’ serum sodium level are elevated in RTA subjects compare to traumatic subjects. The P value are shows that statistically non-significant P >0.3546.Serum potassium levels are elevated in RTA subjects compare to traumatic subjects. The P value shows that non-significant P >0.8262.CONCLUSION:Our study shows that comparison of RTA and traumatic injury Electrolyte imbalances are particularly common in people who have suffered a brain injury. It is a significant and treatable cause of neurological decline. Serum potassium, calcium, and phosphorus levels should also be checked since they play a role in preventing secondary brain injuries, RTA preservation, and traumatic injury.

Introduction: Being born prematurely is a threat to survival and the subsequent quality of life ICDDR,B Health and Science Bulletin published in March 2006 reported that prematurity and low birth weight contributes to 27.8% of neonatal deaths in rural areas of Bangladesh Premature infant are at increased risk of developing dehydration or over hydration. Therefore, high index of suspicion, prompt recognition and thorough understanding of common electrolyte abnormalities are necessary to improve neonatal outcome. The investigation of renal function in pretenn neonate is complicated because of continuing renal development, rise in creatinine is transient and may not be clinically significcmt. Serum creatinine is most widely used marker of renal function in adults and children but its validity as a marker of GFR/ renal function is doubtful a few studies have been conducted on assessment of renal function and electrolytes in the context of prematurity in Bangladesh. But it seems to be essential for immediate management for planning appropriate fluid and electrolyte therapy and thereby for improved outcome. Information was collected who gave consent and participated in the study willingly. The sample size was 50. Duration of data collection was approximately 6 (Six) months.Patients admitted to the Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College and hospital and after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria a simple random sampling technique was applied for selecting the sample patients. Total 50 pretenn LBW neonates fulfilling the inclusion criteria were studied during this study period. Mean creatinine level was .82 mmoKrange was 0.40-1.90 mg/d1. Abnormal electrolytes were documented in 20(40%) pretenn LBW neonates of which hyperkalemia was the predominant electrolyte abnormality found in 8(16.0%) neonates, hyponatremia was found in 7 (14.0%), hypokalemia in 3 (6.0%) and hypernatremia 2 (4.0%). In the present study 20 of preterm LBW babies have electrolyte abnormalities. Hyperkalemia was found in 8(16.0%) babies in this study from above findings it is evident that prematurity causes transient renal impairment, in preterm neonates which is inversely related to gestational age. Renal impairment should be suspected if the serum creatinine rises or fails to show normal post-natal fall. It was observed that electrolyte abnormalities are common in preterm LBW neonates and transient renal failure also occurs in a large number of preterm LBW babies. So, identification of renal failure and associated electrolyte abnormalities and proper management of fluid and electrolytes and close monitoring are important.

Abstract Introduction To evaluate the association of serum electrolytes with disease severity and obstetric complications in pregnant women with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Materials and Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted on pregnant women with confirmed COVID-19. Study population was divided into two groups: 1) Mild COVID-19 group (n = 811) and 2) Moderate/severe COVID-19 group (n = 52). Demographic features, clinical characteristics, obstetric complications, and serum electrolytes were compared between the groups. Afterward, a correlation analysis was performed to investigate the association between serum electrolyte disturbances with COVID-19 severity and obstetric complications. Results Highest serum sodium, hypernatremia, potassium replacement, hypopotassemia, hyperchloremia, initial serum magnesium, hypermagnesemia, and hypocalcemia were significantly higher in the moderate/severe COVID-19 group. The lowest serum sodium, lowest serum potassium, and initial serum calcium were significantly higher in the mild COVID-19 group (p < 0.05). Statistically significant positive weak correlations were found between hypernatremia, hypopotassemia, hyperchloremia, hypermagnesemia, hypocalcemia and COVID-19 severity (r values were 0.27, 0.20, 0.12, 0.18 and 0.12, p values were < 0.001, < 0.001, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.03, respectively). Furthermore, statistically significant positive weak correlations were found between hypopotassemia, hypochloremia, hypermagnesemia, and obstetric complications (r values were 0.10, 0.10, and 0.28, p values were 0.004, 0.03, and 0.001, respectively). A statistically significant negative weak correlation was found between hypomagnesemia and obstetric complications (r = − 0.23 and p = 0.01, respectively). Conclusion Electrolyte disturbances in pregnant women with COVID-19 seem to be associated with disease severity and obstetric complications.

Background: Diabetes is a group of disorders characterized by high blood glucose levels. Disturbances in serum electrolytes sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and chloride (Cl‑) is found in diabetes. The objective of the study was to investigate the disturbances in concentrations of serum electrolytes in hyperglycaemic crisis, uncontrolled non – insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients: early detection and treatment of such abnormalities, leading to better quality of life of patients.Methods: Data was collected prospectively over a period of 1 year and analyzed retrospectively. Of the 131 subjects included in the study, two groups were formed; 60 hyperglycaemic diabetes mellitus patients and 71 healthy volunteer as controls. Biochemical analysis for Na+, K+, Cl- was performed by ISE method using Easy – lyte automatic electrolyte analyzer. The random glucose levels were estimated by direct Hexokinase enzymatic method using Cobas Interga 400. Unpaired t-test was done to find out the difference between the two paired groups and Pearson's correlation was calculated to know the correlations between electrolytes and random glucose levels.Results: In uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, increase in serum Na+ and Cl- levels were observed to be highly significant (p<0.001, respectively) while that of K+ showed significant (p<0.05) alterationsConclusions: The study demonstrated significant association of Na+, K+ and Cl- with hyperglycaemia in patients with hyperglycaemic crisis in uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus. So, electrolytes should be measured during the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Occupational exposure to petrol has been reported to cause serious health hazards especially liver and kidney disease. Electrolytes like Na+, K+, and Cl- are the important mediators of several physiological functions. The present study aims to evaluate the effect of petrol exposure on the serum electrolyte concentration among the workers at the Kirkuk petrol station. The cross-sectional study analyzed 29 petrol pump workers who were continuously exposed to petrol more at least one year in the Kirkuk city and did not have a history of any systemic illness, and 10 healthy age-matched controls who never had exposure to petrol were enrolled. The serum electrolyte levels (Na+, K+, and Cl-) were assessed in the petrol station workers working at Kirkuk city petrol station and the controls by FUJI DRI-CHEM system (Fujifilm (Japan) and expressed as mmol/l. These serum electrolyte levels were compared between the workers and the controls by Mann-Whitney U test and p values ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. All the participants in the study were males. None of the participants was smokers or alcohol consumers. No significant (p=0.32) difference was found in the mean age of the petrol station workers (34.22±6.57) years and the controls (36.70±6.33) years. The serum Na+ levels were significantly higher in the petrol station workers as compared to the controls. Similarly, serum Cl- levels were significantly higher in the petrol station workers as compared to the controls. Although the levels of the electrolytes studied were in the normal recommended range but the levels of Na+ and Cl-were significantly higher in the petrol station workers than the controls. Extensive studies involving larger sample sizes should be conducted to conclude the effect of petrol exposure on the electrolyte levels.

Background: Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality around the world. In countries like India, there is difference in the lifestyle and behavioural risk factors among different areas. There is existence of rural-urban, Eastern-Western-Northern-Southern zonal differences. Studies done in other parts of India may not completely be applicable to Eastern Indian population. Serum electrolytes play an important role in maintaining electrophysiological homeostasis of the myocardial membrane, and alterations of these electrolyte levels can affect the pathogenesis, complications of myocardial infarction. Major serum electrolytes affecting the myocardial electrophysiological properties are sodium, potassium. Hence, this study was undertaken keeping in mind the miniscule lacunae in current knowledge especially pertaining to diseases in Eastern Indian population.Methods: 50 consecutive patients in the age group of 30-70 years admitted in the medicine department of Burdwan medical college with recent onset acute chest pain, diagnosed to be acute myocardial infarction were taken, their serum sodium, potassium levels were determined and these levels were compared among these patients with and without risk factors.Results: Serum sodium was decreased among patients with history of smoking, hypertension, BMI ≥25, complicated by atrial fibrillations. Serum potassium was decreased in patients with hypertension, BMI ≥25, ventricular premature complexes and increased in smokers, alcoholics.Conclusions: Electrolyte imbalances are common in patients of Acute Myocardial Infarction. Hypokalemia and hyponatremia were present and they were associated with cardiac complications. They adversely affect prognosis, so should be corrected.

Dehydration is defined as a lack of body fluids followed by loss of electrolytes, and changes in acid-base balance. The type of dehydration is limited based on the concentration of sodium in serum at the time of dehydration. Maintenance of osmotic pressure and distribution of several compartments of body fluids are the main functions of the four major electrolytes, namely sodium (Na +), potassium (K +), chloride (Cl‾), and bicarbonate (HCO3‾). Sodium is the most cation in extracellular fluid, most potassium cation in intracellular fluid and chloride is the most anion in extracellular fluid. The purpose of this study was to identify the type of dehydration and to determine the major electrolyte profile in cats in Yogyakarta and its surroundings. This study used 18 sick cats that were thought to be dehydrated, marked by decreased skin turgor, CRT> 2 seconds, and 12 cats that were suspected of having electrolyte balance disorders with symptoms of ascites, uropoetic disorders. Blood was drawn for all cats to measure Pack Cells Volume (PCV) levels. Patient clinical data and patient diagnosis were recorded, cats with changes in serum PCV levels were separated for examination of levels of sodium, chloride, potassium using Seamaty SMT-120V. The type of dehydration is identified based on the sodium level in the serum of a dehydrated cat. The results showed that most of the cat patients were dehydrated had low serum sodium levels (hyponatremia). There was 1 cat patient had low chloride levels. Potassium levels in cats with UT obstruction increased, which led to a decrease in the Na: K ratio. Cat bicarbonate levels did not show any change. From the results of the study it was concluded that dehydration in cats at Prof. Soeparwi is hypotonic dehydration (71%). The sodium profile mostly decreased, chloride and bicarbonate levels did not change, while there were changes in potassium levels in patients with UT disorders. The advice given is to check electrolytes before doing fluid therapy. Prior to electrolyte testing, dehydrated cats can be given a sodium solution.

Operative trauma affects the physiology of fluid and electrolytes within the body. Magnitude and duration of this response is directly proportional to the severity of the trauma. Inorganic electrolytes like sodium, potassium, chloride and calcium are very important constituents of the body. There are preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative changes in both fluid volume and electrolyte compositions. The cases were selected among the patients operated in the Tertiary Care Hospital and then getting admitted to ICU from November 2020 to April 2021. Males and females, more than 18 years of age, got operated in same hospital were included in the study. The latest preoperative serum sodium and potassium levels had been noted. The postoperative serum sodium and potassium levels along with postoperative day had been noted till the patient was in ICU.There was gradual rise in the serum sodium level till post-operative day -6 and then it started decreasing and attained its normal preoperative value on post-operative day-11. The preoperative sodium level was restored in all cases by the 11th postoperative day. There was a gradual fall in serum potassium level from post-operative day-1 to post-operative day-6 and then it started increasing and attained pre-operative value by post-operative day-11. So, the response of serum sodium and serum potassium is contrary to each other. Based on the study results, increased sodium and decreased potassium levels were observed in postoperative cases. Normalization of these two electrolyte are seen postoperative day seven onwards.

Background: Electrolyte imbalances are common in critically ill paediatric patients. When present, they can significantly affect the outcome. Critical care provision through Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) is aimed at maintaining ‘homeostasis’ in the body which is vital for the organ’s support and optimal function. This involves fluids and electrolytes balance.Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the PICU, SCB MC and Hospital, Cuttack during November 2015 to October 2017. includes Children admitted to PICU (Based on consensus guidelines for PICUs in India, Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (Pediatric Section) and Indian Academy of Pediatrics (Intensive Care Chapter).Results: Percentage of male children was 65.9%, with male to female ratio 1.9:1, showing male dominance. Most electrolyte imbalances were seen in age group of 1 to 5 years (67.06%). Abnormal serum electrolyte was seen in 37.91% in our study. SIADH was observed in 43.5% of euvolemic hyponatremic patients. SIADH was observed in 27.8% of hyponatremic patients. Respiratory disorder was the most common attributing factor for SIADH followed by CNS disorder.Conclusions: The present study showed high incidence of electrolyte abnormalities in patients admitted to pediatric intensive care unit. Though at times symptoms of electrolyte disorder is indistinguishable from symptoms of primary pathology, so a close monitoring and correction of electrolyte abnormalities is necessary for better outcome. SIADH is recognizable and common cause of electrolyte imbalance in PICU. Thus, this study recommends early routine monitoring of serum electrolytes in all patients admitted to PICU.

Prematurity and low birth weight contributes to 27.8% of neonatal deaths in rural areas of Bangladesh. Fluid, electrolyte and metabolic abnormalities are the commonest derangements encountered in preterm infants due to their renal immaturity and relatively immature skin. Premature infant are at increased risk of developing dehydration or overhydration4. Therefore, high index of suspicion, prompt recognition and thorough understanding of common electrolyte abnormalities are necessary to improve neonatal outcome. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management is essential for better neonatal outcome.
Objectives: To identify the serum electrolytes abnormalities in preterm low birth weight neonates.
Methodology: It was a cross- sectional study and carried out in the Department of Neonatology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka between January 2017 to August 2017. Information was collected who gave consent and participated in the study willingly. The sample size was 50. Patients admitted in the above mentioned hospital and after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria a simple random sampling technique was applied for selecting the study subjects.
Results: Fifty preterm LBW neonates fulfilling the inclusion criteria were studied during this study period. Abnormal electrolytes were documented in 20(40%) out of 50 preterm LBW neonates and electrolyte status was normal in 30(60.0%) cases. Of 20 neonates who had abnormal electrolytes, hyperkalemia was the predominant electrolyte abnormality found in 8(16.0%) neonates, hyponatremia was found in 7(14.0%), hypokalemia in 3(6.0%) and hypernatremia 2(4.0%).
Conclusion: Electrolyte abnormalities are common in preterm LBW neonates. So, identification of electrolyte abnormalities and proper management of fluid and electrolytes and close monitoring are important.
