title: [Are there correlations of hormonal activity in pheochromocytoma and serum as well as erythrocyte sodium and potassium concentrations in patients with pheochromocytoma].
abstract: Interrelationship between serum Na+, K+ concentrations and the excretion of norepinephrine (NA), epinephrine (A) in the urine was studied in 69 patients aged 15-69 with pheochromocytoma (PH), and between serum Na+, K+ concentrations and serum NA, A levels in 53 patients. Furthermore, in 15 patients correlation between Na+, K+ concentrations in erytrocytes and serum NA, A levels was estimated. Na+ and K+ concentrations were determined using photometric analysis, NA and A excretion in the urine using fluorometric method and in blood by radiometry. Hypokalemia and hyponatremia were stated in 22% and 19% of patients with PH, respectively. Only in patients with electrolytic disorders correlation of serum as well as erythrocyte Na+ concentrations with serum NA level and between serum K+ and A concentrations were proved. In the part of studied patients with PH, the NA and A excess induced disorders of electrolytic homeostasis.
