“…Other workers have suggested that potassium has a diuretic effect. In one patient Cort and Matthews (1954) found clinical improvement with an increased urinary output and concluded that a large cellular deficit had been corrected. Our findings agree with those of Flear and Cawley (1962) in that no change in plasma potassium was found.…”

Summary: A study of the effect of additional oral potassium on the low body potassium of seven patients with severe valvular heart disease showed that the potassium supplements were retained. After one month's treatment the exchangeable potassium was significantly increased, but the predicted value was not reached in any of the patients. There was no significant change in plasma potassium. These results suggest that it is of benefit to increase the dose of oral potassium for at least one month preoperatively in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

“…However, many investigators have found that the plasma concentrations correlate poorly with total body electrolytes (Burnell et al, 1956;Cort and Matthews, 1954;Cox et al, 1964;Darrow et al, 1949;Dole et al, 1951;Duncan et al, 1956;Edelman et al, 1958;Garrow, 1965;Howe and Le Quesne, 1964;Jagger et al, 1963;Keitel and Jones, 1959;MacPhee, 1953;Moore et al, 1963;Nichols and Nichols, 1953;Randall and Papper, 1958;Soloff et al, 1960;Talso et al, 1956).…”
