title: [Behavior of hematocrit values in chronic bronchopneumatic patients during administration of saluretics].
abstract: Changes in haematocrit values were determined in chronic bronchitis patients undergoing water depletion with diuretics. Unchanged, increased and decreased values were observed. The results were statistically significant and indicated that: 1) increases correspond to a decrease in the amount of extracellular water; 2) decreases represent intracellular water loss and subsequent transfer of water to the circulation; 3) diuretics lead to redistriction of water in the body.
