Abstract

Abstract


The effects on plasma electrolytes and related honnones were determined in non-acclimatized low lander males, exposed for 96 hours to an altitude of 4424 meters. Twenty healthy soldiers aged 18-34 years travelled by road from an altitude of 2303 meters to 4424 meters over a period of 10 hours. Plasma sodium levels (142..09±1.14 mmol/l) and aldosterone (16.61±5.70 ng/ml) decreased to 139.69 mmolIl and 11.6±4.60 ug/ml respectively after 96 hours of acute expoure to high altitude (p
