title: [Correlations between clinical features and metabolic disorders in anorexia nervosa].
abstract: The metabolic indices of cholesterol, Na, K, Ca and chlorides in the plasma of two groups of patients with different variants of anorexia nervosa were compared. The first group consisted of 30 subjects on a markedly food intake, containing lipids and carbohydrates, and the second one 20 patients with artificially induced vomiting, following each food intake. The study demonstrated that in the so-called vomiting behavior, all the indices of the above mentioned metabolites were lower than in normals (especially the level of chlorides and Na). A comparison of these groups demonstrated a statistically significant drop in the content of cholesterol, K, Ca and chlorides in patients with artificially induced vomiting in comparison with patients on food limitation. The results obtained are of significance for elaborating adequate dietetics within the framework of a comprehensive therapy of patients with anorexia nervosa.
