1. Total body potassium (40K method) and total body water and exchangeable sodium (both by isotope dilution) were determined in 26 boys, aged 5-17 years, with muscular dystrophy. Total body potassium values were compared with measurements in a large series of normal boys on the basis of height. 2. Total body potassium was reduced even in the youngest patients and was only slightly higher in the older boys, despite their considerably greater height. Exchangeable sodium increased with increasing height in a way similar to that of normal boys. Total body water was also reduced but increased with growth, although to a lesser extent than expected for normal boys. The total body water measurements indicated that many of the affected boys were very obese, despite an apparently normal body weight. 3. An intravenous bolus of 22Na distributed at a similar rate in boys with muscular dystrophy to that in normal males. 4. In relation to the predicted values, total body potassium and 24 h urinary creatinine excretion of the affected boys both declined at a rate of 4% per year.

1. Standard radioisotope dilution techniques employing [3H]water and [22Na]sodium chloride have been used to determine the total body water and total exchangeable sodium of 20 male and 10 female normal Ghanaians (Africans) aged 19–25 years. 2. Lean body mass and total body fat are calculated as a percentage of body weight; the total exchangeable sodium values have been expressed in relation to lean body mass. 3. Comparison of the data for Ghanaian subjects with published figures for Caucasian subjects of similar age shows that the Ghanaian men have much less total body fat and the women a little less total body fat than their Caucasian counterparts. 4. Total exchangeable sodium expressed in terms of lean body mass shows close agreement in both men and women.

Total exchangeable potassium, total exchangeable sodium, and total body water were simultaneously measured by dilution of K42, Na24, and H3, respectively. Total exchangeable chloride was estimated at the same time by dilution of Br82. The concentrations of water, sodium, potassium, and chloride were measured in the serum. The subjects included three healthy young men. The remaining 65 subjects were patients, with illness associated with disorders of nutrition and of water and electrolyte metabolism ranging from cachexia to extreme obesity and from dehydration to massive anasarca. The results show that in this highly varied group of subjects, neither Nae, Ke, nor Cle was correlated at all well with total body water when considered singly. Cle, in fact, was not considered to add useful information in the absence of information regarding other anions. However, the sum of Nae and Ke correlated exceedingly well with total body water (r = .991). Additional relationships containing serum cation concentrations had even higher degrees of correlation. Furthermore, it was found that expressions capable of predicting Nae or Ke could be derived from the data. Similarly high degrees of correlation were found when these regressions were computed for data from the literature. Note: With the Technical Assistance of E. Rossmeisl, R. McLean, H. Alpert, M. Halpin, and R. Gardner total body water; total exchangeable potassium; total exchangeable sodium; total exchangeable chloride Submitted on January 24, 1963
