Sigmoid volvulus (SV) is an uncommon type of large bowel obstruction. This study sought to determine serum sodium concentrations in patients with SV.
The records of 89 patients with SV and 40 patients with obstructive rectosigmoid cancer (ORC) were reviewed retrospectively.
The mean serum sodium concentrations in patients with SV and in those with ORC were 138.4±4.5 mEq/L and 137.7±3.2 mEq/L, respectively (t:0.7, P>0.05). The numbers of hyponatremic and hypernatremic patients were 13 vs. 4 and 1 vs. 0, respectively, in the SV and ORC groups (x2:0.5, P>0.05).
No cause-effect relationship was determined between serum sodium concentrations and SV.
乙状结肠扭转（SV）是一种不常见的大肠梗阻类型。本研究旨在测定SV患者的血清钠浓度。
回顾性分析89例SV患者和40例梗阻性乙状结肠癌（ORC）患者的病历。
SV患者和ORC患者的平均血清钠浓度分别为138.4±4.5 mEq/L和137.7±3.2 mEq/L（t值：0.7，P>0.05）。SV组和ORC组低钠血症和高钠血症患者人数分别为13例对4例和1例对0例（χ²值：0.5，P>0.05）。
未确定血清钠浓度与SV之间存在因果关系。
