Methods for the quantitative assessment of electrolyte disturbances in hyperglycaemia.
While empirical calculations are presently used, exact solutions to compute volume and solute changes of hyperosmolar coma (HC) can be obtained by subdividing the patients according to well defined clinical and laboratory conditions. These are represented by PNa(G), the plasma Na concentration that would be present if there were only glucose addition (GA), that discloses prevalent Na depletion when >PNa(1), prevalent water deficit when
