title: [Analysis of the contents of K, Na, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn in serum of middle and old-aged hypertension patients].
abstract: Atomic absorption method was used to detect the contents of K, Na, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn in serum of 48 hypertension patients and 52 healthy people. The results show that the contents of Na, Mg, Zn, Fe and Mn in hypertension were higher than healthy control, while K, Ca and Cu were lower. Na/K were higher, but Ca/Mg and Cu/Zn were lower, than healthy control. These suggested that we should add K, Ca, Mg and Cu properly, reduce Na, scientifically control the increase of Zn, Fe and Mn, pay attention to the balance relation of Na/K, Ca/Mg and Cu/Zn, reduce Na/K, raise Cu/Zn, and add Ca with Mg properly. This can be useful for preventing and treating hypertension.
