Abstract:
Objective To study the status of electrolyte imbalance in infant with moderate to severe malnutrition and discuss reasonable clinical therapy.Methods we examined serum level of electrolyte and analyse retrospectively.96 infants were divided into three group-pneumonia,diarrhea and mixed group,difference of electrolyte imbalance was compared within the three groups.Results Hypokalemia and hyponatremia were the major electrolyte imbalamce.60.4% had hypokalemia,55,2% had hyponatremia;the other imbalance,46.9% had hypochloremia,40.6% had hypocalcemia,32.3% had hypomagnesemia,30.2% had metabolic acidosis and 16.6% had metabolic alkalosis.Conclusions The pneumonia group was more likely to have hyponatremia,and the diarrhea group was more likely to have hypokalemia.Serum level of chloride fluctuated with the change of blood potassium.Hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia were normal and were influenced by acid-base balance.Acidosis was more likely to be found in diarrhea group,and was metabolic in most situation.There was a trend of emerging metabolic alkalosis in severe dehydration patient.
