title: [Intracellular content of sodium and potassium in patients with hypertension].
abstract: The sodium and potassium contents in the erythrocytes was studied in 31 persons: 15 hypertensive patients in I stage of the disease and 16 persons with normal arterial pressure as a reference group. In the hypertensive patients a light degree, statistically insignificant increase of the intracellular sodium concentration compared to that of the normotensive persons was found (7.62 mmol/l cells against 6.58 mmol/l cells). No differences in the potassium contents were established. These light degree changes of the intracellular sodium contents in hypertensive patients I stage could be assessed more precisely if a parallel study of the activity of the sodium transport transmembrane mechanisms is carried out.
