Hypokalaemia, metabolic alkalosis, and hypernatraemia due to "massive" sodium penicillin therapy.

Hypokalaemia and metabolic alkalosis were seen in three patients and additionally hypernatraemia in two patients treated with 100 mega units of sodium penicillin G for subacute bacterial endocarditis. The hypernatraemia was probably due to the administration of insufficient fluid, while urinary potassium loss was an important factor in producing hypokalaemia and metabolic alkalosis after. Penicillin may promote urinary potassium excretion by acting as a non-reabsorbable anion.Potassium depletion during treatment with massive doses of sodium penicillin G may be prevented by concurrently administering potassium-sparing diuretics or by using the potassium salt of penicillin.

Clotting factor v activity in plasma cryoproteins.

Plasma cryoprecipitates containing considerable quantities of clotting factor V were observed in five patients. The unusual factor V activity was not associated with significant amounts of cryofibrinogen. Clinically, the symptoms were not distinguishable from those of other cryopathies. The abnormality did not lead to a deficiency of factor V in the circulating blood nor to a haemorrhagic diathesis.
