Diagnosis of hyperchloremic triple acid-base disorders in burn patients and its mechanisms / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

AIM:To study the diagnosis of hyperchloremic triple acid-base disorders (hyperchloremic TABD) and its mechanisms and to find out the cause of hyperchloremic TABD of the burn patients. METHODS:① 154 concomitant arterial blood gas and electrolyte panel of 113 burn patients were diagnosed by clinical approach. ② The plasma aldosterone concentrations of burn patients were tested by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS:9 cases of the 113 burn patients were hyperchloremic TABD. Their plasma aldosterone's values were significantly higher than that of the natural ( P
