Abstract
Sera from seventy uremic patients selected randomly were analysed for their electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl and CO2). It has been found out that .marked hyponatremia, hypokalemia and hypochloremia is associated with 51.4, 40 and 45.7% cases respectively. 14.2% of cases had serum CO3. Concentration above normal showing contraction alkalosis. I.V. fluid used in majority of cases was dextrose in water and combined with the use of diuretic "Lasix" which may be attributed to the higher percentage of hyponatremia and hypokalemia in this study.
