Increased aldosterone levels with consequent or diuretic-potentiated electrolyte abnormalities are an important consideration when patients with cirrhosis and ascites undergo diuresis. A simple clinical method using the urinary Na/K ratio as a guide to spironolactone dosage is outlined. Patients with a ratio greater than 1 responded well to 100 mg. of spironolactone a day; those when it was one or less responded well to 200 to 1,000 mg. a day.Administration of spironolactone alone (11 patients) or as the main diuretic (three patients) was a safe and effective means of inducing sustained uncomplicated diuresis in all these patients.
当肝硬化腹水患者进行利尿治疗时,醛固酮水平升高以及随之而来的或利尿剂增强的电解质异常是一个重要的考虑因素。本文概述了一种以尿钠/钾比值为指导来确定螺内酯剂量的简单临床方法。尿钠/钾比值大于1的患者,每天服用100毫克螺内酯反应良好;比值为1或更低的患者,每天服用200至1000毫克反应良好。单独使用螺内酯(11例患者)或作为主要利尿剂(3例患者)对所有这些患者来说都是诱导持续无并发症利尿的安全有效方法。
