De Natrio Diabeticorum Increased Exchangeable Sodium in Diabetes

Polyuria, a classical symptom of diabetes mellitus may be associated with significant sodium loss and can result in volume contraction. It is of interest therefore that recent research into the sodium content of patients with stable, treated diabetes mellitus has demonstrated an excess of this cation and an enhanced extracellular fluid space. In this review we discuss the significance of this finding, the physiology of sodium in normal man, and the possible consequences that could accrue from this acquired abnormality of electrolyte metabolism in diabetes.
