Abstract
Summary
1. Following phlebotomy in each of 4 normal male subjects, there was a transient fall in the plasma sodium concentration.
2. Following injections in 4 patients of a 25% solution of salt-poor human albumin solution, a similar fall in the plasma sodium concentration was noted.
3. It is concluded that sodium-poor fluid is added to the plasma, presumably from the intracellular space, folio wing hemorrhage, as well as following injection of salt-poor human albumin.
