A number of studies among the peoples of tropical Africa have shown exceptionally low electrolyte levels. This paper reports a study of more than 200 healthy northern Nigerian subjects which yielded precisely the opposite picture--exceptionally high levels of both sodium and chloride. The relatively high protein and urea values in the same individuals suggest that the high electrolyte levels seen are due to dehydration. The implications of these findings are discussed.
对热带非洲人群的多项研究显示电解质水平异常低。本文报告了一项对200多名健康的尼日利亚北部受试者的研究，结果却恰恰相反——钠和氯的水平异常高。同一批受试者中相对较高的蛋白质和尿素值表明，所观察到的高电解质水平是由脱水引起的。本文讨论了这些发现的意义。
