The electrolytes sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium were determined in both plasma and erythrocytes of 300 PCM subjects and 26 parallel healthy controls. The results obtained revealed that: The level of plasma sodium was lower than normal in all PCM cases except in marasmic kwashiorkor. The RBC's sodium content was more or less not affected. Plasma potassium level was markedly lower than normal in all groups of malnourished subjects. RBC's potassium was significantly lower than normal in severe K.W.O. and marasmic kwashiorkor, while it was high in 3rd grade marasmus. Magnesium level was lower than normal in both plasma and RBC's in all malnourished subjects. Calcium level dropped in plasma and was elevated in RBC's. Estimation of RBC's minerals may be useful in reflecting the concerned changes in tissues of PCM subjects.
对300名蛋白质-热量营养不良（PCM）患者和26名对照健康者的血浆及红细胞中的钠、钾、钙、镁电解质进行了测定。结果显示：除消瘦型夸希奥科病外，所有PCM患者的血浆钠水平均低于正常。红细胞钠含量或多或少未受影响。所有营养不良患者组的血浆钾水平均显著低于正常。在重度夸希奥科病及消瘦型夸希奥科病患者中，红细胞钾显著低于正常，而在Ⅲ度消瘦患者中则升高。所有营养不良患者的血浆和红细胞中的镁水平均低于正常。血浆钙水平下降，而红细胞钙水平升高。测定红细胞矿物质可能有助于反映PCM患者组织中的相关变化。
