We report the case of a patient who ingested sea water to combat disabling postural hypotension secondary to autonomic failure. While drinking approximately 900 mL of brine each day he had no symptoms and felt well. Serum biochemical analysis showed a very significant hyperchloraemia. Persistent diarrhoea eventually forced the patient to discontinue this most unorthodox form of treatment.
我们报告了一例患者，该患者为对抗自主神经功能衰竭继发的致残性体位性低血压而饮用海水。他每天饮用约900毫升盐水时并无症状且感觉良好。血清生化分析显示有非常显著的高氯血症。持续性腹泻最终迫使患者停止了这种极不常规的治疗方式。
