[Water and mineral balance in refeeding after total fasting].
The water balance and the electrolyte balance were measured in 6 patients after 14 days of total starvation. After fasting a 600 calorie formula diet was given for the whole period. The potassium balance was +32 mval/day and that of sodium +120 mval/day. The total loss of potassium in 14 days was 488 mval and that of sodium only 126 mval. Sodium loss is replaced within one day of refeeding. No replacement of the potassium loss was noticed during the 4 day treatment.
