  • Title: [Disruption of sodium-potassium metabolism in the acute period of craniocerebral injuries in the aged].

    Journal: Zh Vopr Neirokhir Im N N Burdenko; 1983; (6):40-4. PubMed ID: 6659800.
    Abstract:
    Disorders of sodium-potassium metabolism in the acute period of craniocerebral injury of different severity were studied in 138 patients whose ages ranged from 50 to 86 years. The electrolyte-excretion function of the kidneys was also studied. The features of the sodium-potassium shifts depending on the age of the injured persons were revealed as well as their effect on the course and outcome of the cerebral injury. Severe disorders of sodium and potassium metabolism aggravate the clinical course of craniocerebral injury, particularly in elderly and old-age patients and often determine the outcome of the disease.
