[Plasma aldosterone during haemodialysis in patients with terminal renal failure].

In 14 patients with terminal renal failure who underwent dialysis with a solution containing potassium in a concentration of 2 mmol/l, the aldosterone concentration in plasma decreased significantly during haemodialysis. On the other hand a clear increase of plasma aldosterone was observed during haemodialysis in two patients who were dialysed with a solution containing potassium in a concentration of 4 mmol/l. This observation demonstrates the importance of plasma potassium for the regulation of plasma aldosterone concentration during haemodialysis. It suggests that the renin-angiotensin system has no major role in the regulation of aldosterone despite sodium and fluid losses.

[Treatment of severe hypnotic poisoning with extracorporeal haemoperfusion (author's transl)].

Four patients with severe hypnotic intoxication, twice after suicidal intake of barbital, once of barbital, methaqualone and carbromal, and once of carbromal, were treated with six activated charcoal haemoperfusions. Three patients showed rapid improvement in the level of consciousness followed by complete recovery. One female patient died in cerebral coma due to complete acute cerebromalacia following hypoxia. Serious complications due to the haemoperfusion did not occur. Correct use of activated charcoal haemoperfusion enriches the therapeutic spectrum of severe exogenous intoxications.
