Abstract
UNTIL recently little was known about variations in sodium content of human erythrocytes. Harrison1 found a significant increase of red-cell sodium in a number of patients with tuberculous meningitis, Love and Burch2 noticed higher cell sodium values in Negroes than in White donors, Overman3 found increased sodium concentrations in normal infants up to two years of age, Nichols4 saw low values during diabetic acidosis, Roegholt5 sometimes found increased values in patients with congestive heart failure.
