title: [Plasma hyperosmolarity aspects in intensive care and its treatment with potassium canreonate].
abstract: Intravenous administration of 400-600 mg/day potassium canrenoate normalised plasma osmolarity and permitted rapid re-establishment of the metabolic picture in 9/12 patients with hyperosmolarity admitted to a resuscitation department for complex physiopathological pictures. The soundness of the drug in this sense is affirmed, as well as its permission of the recommencement of parenteral nutrition.
