고혈압의 유발 원인과 관련이 있는 나트륨의 섭취를 줄일 수 있는 방법을 모색하기 위해 건강한 20대 성인여성 9명을 대상으로 NaCl-KCl 혼합식염으로 조리한 식이를 섭취하도록 한 후 24시간 소변으로 배설되는 나트륨 양을 조사하여 나트륨 섭취량이 평상시보다 어느 정도 감소되는가를 보고자 하였다. 1) 3일간의 일상식이 섭취상태를 조사한 결과 연구대상자들이 섭취한 1일 평균 열량은 1,872.0 kcal였으며 나트륨과 칼륨의 1일 평균 섭취량은 각각 178.2 ${\pm}$ 46.0 mEq, 56.4 ${\pm}$ 21.9 mEq로 나타났다. 2) 실험기간동안 제공된 실험 식이에서 대상자들이 섭취한 열량은 평균 2,031.2 kcal였으며 나트륨의 섭취량은 평균 130.2 mEq이었으며, 칼륨의 섭취량은 평균 120.4 mEq이었다. 3) 조사대상자들의 혈압은 실험 시작 전 수축기 혈압과 이완기 혈압의 평균이 각각 104.6 ${\pm}$ 4.9 mmHg, 69.2 ${\pm}$ 6.3 mmHg였다. 실험식이 섭취 기간 동안 수축기 혈압과 이완기 혈압은 각각 108.1 ${\pm}$ 8.0 mmHg, 70.4 ${\pm}$ 5.7 mmHg로 나타났다. 4) 일상식이 섭취기간동안 소변의 평균 나트륨과 칼륨의 배설량은 각각 139.6 ${\pm}$ 37.3 mEq, 27.7 ${\pm}$ 14.7 mEq이었다. 소변의 나트륨/칼륨 비율은 6.6 ${\pm}$ 4.1이었다. 실험식이 섭취기간동안 소변의 평균 나트륨과 칼륨의 배설량은 각각 100.2 ${\pm}$ 14.5 mEq, 37.1 ${\pm}$ 7.4 mEq이었다. 소변의 나트륨/칼륨 비율은 2.8 ${\pm}$ 0.6이었다. 소변 중 나트륨 배설량과 나트륨/칼륨 비율은 실험식이 섭취기간에 유의적으로 감소하였다 (p < 0.05). 본 연구 결과 NaCl-KCl 혼합식염 식이는 나트륨의 섭취를 감소시키고 칼륨의 섭취를 증가시켜 나트륨/칼륨의 섭취비를 이상적인 수준인 1에 가깝게 변화시켜 주는 것으로 나타나 고혈압의 예방에 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 특히 짠맛에 대한 기호도가 높은 우리나라 사람들에게 짠맛에 대한 기호도를 변화시키지 않고도 실제로 식생활에서 나트륨 섭취를 감소시킬 수 있는 구체적 방안을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 그러나 본 연구는 정상혈압을 가진 성인 여성을 대상으로 하였으므로 고혈압 환자 또는 나트륨과 관련이 있는 환자를 대상으로 한 실험이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 또한 소금 섭취가 높은 대상자들이나 나트륨의 섭취를 제한해야 하는 사람들에게 KCl을 이용한 혼합식염을 공급하여 나트륨 섭취를 감소시킴으로써 얻을 수 있는 건강증진 효과에 대한 후속 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다. 그러나 한편으로는 염화칼륨을 보충제로 과도하게 섭취할 경우 위장장애 등을 일으킬 수 있다고 알려져 있으므로 적절한 섭취량을 찾는 연구가 필요할 것이다.

This study was carried out to estimate the relationship between dietary intake, blood level, and urinary excretion of minerals and blood pressure in 30 healthy adults living in rural area of Korea(12 males and 18 females). Analysis for the nutritional status of the subjects were performed by 3-day dietary intake record, duplicated diet collection, 24-hour urine collection, and venous blood sampling before measuring blood pressure. The mean blood pressure of subjects was 117.50/80.83mmHg in males and 110.00/73.89mmHg in females. The mean daily intakes of Na, K, Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn estimated for 3 days were 199.97mEq, 49.56mEq, 452.50mg, 725.57mg, 240.40mg, 12.48mg, 3.41mg, 8.28mg, respectively. The serum concentration of Na, K, Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn were 139.83mEq/dl, 4.06mEq/dl, 8.86mg/dl, 3.28mg/dl, 2.13mg/dl, 0.12mg/dl, 0.12mg/dl, 0.14mg/dl, respectively. The 24-hour urinary excretions of Na, K, Ca, p, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn estimated for 169.60mEq, 39.37mEq, 80.40mg, 398.97mg, 64.77mg, 0.21mg, 0.07mg, 0.29mg, respectively. No significant correlation was found between dietary intake, serum concentration, and urinary excretion of minerals and blood pressure. But, the serum Ca/Mg ratio showed negative correlation with the systolic and diastolic blood pressure at the level of significance of 5%. The study verifies the need for more systematic studies on interrelationship among minerals and mineral requirements in normotensive and hypertensive subjects.

To clarify the clinical spectrum of non-oliguric acute renal failure, we undertook a retrospective study of 16 cases of acute renal failure following trauma and surgery, 6 of whom were non-oliguric throughout their periods of azotemia. With the clinical symptoms, BUN, creatinine and some urinary diagnostic indexes, we analyzed the differences between non-oliguric and oliguric renal failure. And the results were: 1. The nonoliguric form [10 cases] was more common than oliguric [6 cases], especially post-traumatic failure. 2. The both types belonged to parenchymal renal failure by the U/P UN ratio and urinary Na concentration [Vertal, 1967]. 3. The non-oliguric form was lesser severe in urinary diagnostic indexes and clinically. The non-oliguric renal failure has better clinical course and prognosis, the failure to diagnose it is as dangerous as the failure oliguric renal failure.

한국인은 많은 양의 염류를 섭취하며 저단백식을 주로 한다는 사실이 1960년대로부터 알려져왔다. 일련의 연구로부터, 한국인이 많은 양의 염류를 섭취하는 것은 저단백식과 관계가 있는 것으로 여겨져왔다. 지난 30년간 한국인의 식사중 단백성분은 크게 증가해 왔다. 본 연구는 1990년 현재 한국 농촌지역 거주자의 소변 중에 배설되는 나트륨과 칼륨의 양 및 총 소변 배설량을 측정하여 유의할 만한 변화가 있었는지를 알아보기 위하여 실시되었다. 또, 도시지역 거주자와의 비교를 위해 34명의 농촌지역 거주자와 9명의 도시지역 거주자를 대상으로 하였다. 조사기간중 조사대상자를 일상생활을 그대로 영위하도록 하였다. 34시간 동안 배설된 소변을 수집하여 그중의 나트륨, 칼륨, 크레아티닌 농도를 측정하였다. 마지막 뇨 수집 시에는 정맥혈을 채취하여 혈장 중의 나트륨, 칼륨, 총단백 농도를 측정하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 혈장 중의 나트륨, 칼륨, 총단백 농도는 정상범위 내에 있었다. 2) 농촌인구에서는 24시간 소변중의 나트륨, 칼륨 배설량은 각각 $255{\pm}95.6$mEq/day, $45{\pm}15.1$mEq 이었으며 24시간동안 수집된 소변의 총량은 $1800{\pm}514.3$ml/day이었다. 이 수치를 1960년의 자료와 비교할 때 수집된 나트륨 배설량은 감소추세를 보였으나 칼륨과 총 소변배설량에 있어서는 별 변화를 발견할 수 없었다. 3) 농촌거주자의 소변중 Na/K 비는 도시거주자에 비해 유의하게 높았으며 도시지역거주자에 있어서 소변중 나트륨 배설량의 감소추세가 더욱 두드러졌다. 4) 이 수치를 서양인의 수치와 비교하면 아직도 한국 농촌지역 거주자의 염분 섭취가 높음을 보이고 있는 반면 칼륨에 있어서는 서양인에 비해 훨씬 낮음을 알 수 있다. 5) 염분과 단백의 섭취 사이에 있을 수 있는 관계를 고찰했다.

전라북도 완주군의 북부 5개면 지역에서 Na, K의 요중 배설의 양상을 파악하고 일일 식염 섭취량을 추정하며 Na, K 배설과 혈압과의 상관관계를 파악하기 위해, 1987년 1월부터 3월에 걸쳐 40개 마을을 순회하며 30세 이상의 성인에 대한 건강검진을 실시하고 537명으로 부터 12시간 야간뇨를 수집하였다. creatinine의 체중당 일일 배설량이, 일정한 연령층에서는 비교적 일정하다는 성질을 이용하여 수집된 시료를 선발하였다. 이 검사값이 피검자가 속한 연령층의 신뢰범위에 포함되는 소변만을 정확한 12시간 야간뇨로 인정하였는데 537명 중 345명의 소변이 이에 해당되었다. 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 12시간 동안 소변으로 배설된 전해질의 양은 Na의 경우 고혈압군에서는 179.5 mEq, 정상혈압군에서는 203.8 mEq였고 전체의 평균값은 193.5 mEq였다. Na 배설에 있어서는 두 군 사이에 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 그러나 12시간 동안 배설된 K의 양에서는 고혈압군이 정상혈압군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 낮은 값을 보였고 (고혈압군이 17.5 mEq, 정상혈압군 23.1 mEq, p<0.01) 전해질 간의 비율에서도 K/creatinine에서 고혈압군이 정상혈압군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮은 값을 보였다(고혈압군 0.040, 정상혈압군 0.050, p<0.05). 2. Na의 일일 배설량은 386.9 mEq였으며 이를 NaCl의 양으로 환산한 값은 22.4 g이었다. 1일간 섭취된 Na의 90%만이 소변으로 배설된다고 가정할 때 NaCl의 1일 섭취량은 평균 24.9 g으로 추정되었다. 추정된 1일 NaCl 섭취량에서 고혈압군과 정상혈압군 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었으나(23.2g vs 26.3g) 고혈압군의 평균 식염 섭취량이 정상혈압군의 평균값보다 다소 적은 결과를 얻었다. 3. 전체 조사 대상자 중 수축기 혈압이 120 mmHg 이상인 집단에 한하여 혈압이 높아질수록 K 배설량이 감소하는 부분적 역(逆) 상관관계를 볼 수 있었고 Na/K 비(比)는 대상자 전체에서 혈압의 증가와 함께 증가하였다 (p<0.05).

Purpose: To determine predictive factors for detecting renal parenchymal damages (RPDs) in infants with recurrent febrile urinary tract infection (fUTI). Methods: From January 2015 to December 2021, 102 infants with recurrent fUTI and who underwent ^99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scan in our hospital were included in this study. Controls included infants with normal DMSA results performed 3 months apart from the 2nd episode of fUTI. DMSA-positive group included infants with positive DMSA results performed 3 months apart from the 2nd episode of fUTI or at the 3rd episode of fUTI. The recurrence rate, causative bacteria, renal size discrepancy of both kidneys, and laboratory findings including C-reactive protein (CRP) and spot urine sodium-to-potassium ratio (uNa/K) were compared between both groups. Results: Only 3.8% of 79 infants with a 2nd episode of fUTI showed positive DMSA results. fUTI recurred more frequently within 12 months of follow-up in the DMSA-positive group than in the control group (69% vs. 13%, P<0.001). CRP values were significantly higher in the DMSA-positive group than in the control group (7.3 mg/dL vs. 3.7 mg/dL, P<0.001). Spot uNa/K were significantly lower in the DMSA-positive group than in the control group (0.6 vs. 1.1, P<0.001). Conclusions: Congenital renal scar and RPDs on the DMSA scan were more frequently found in infants with recurrent fUTI than those in the control group. High CRP values and low spot uNa/K in acute infections were helpful in predicting the presence of RPD in infants with recurrent fUTI.

This study investigated the influence of anthropometric data and nutrient intake on bone mineral density(BMD) and biochemical markers of bone metabolism The mean age of 21 premenopausal women were 47.0 years and that of 41 postmenopausal women whose menopausal age was 49.46 years were 60.56 years. The waist and WHR of postmenopausal women were significantly higher than those of premenopausal ones. The animal protein intake of premenopausal and postmenopausal women were 38.5 and 21.03 g which comprised 54.35 and $31.84\%$ of total protein intake, respectively. The calcium intake of premenopausal and postmenopausal women were 446.45 and 546.97mg which was 63.78 and $78.14\%$ of Korean RDA, respectively. The ALP(Alkaline phosphatase) of premenopausal women was 65.81 U/L, which was significantly lower than that(90.24 U/L) of postmenopausal women (p<0.01). BMD of lumbar spine of premenopausal women was correlated significantly with body weight(r=0.690, p<0.01), waist(r=0.682, p<0.01), WHR(r=0.672, p<0.01), BMI(r=0.559, p<0.01), and body fat(r=0.457, p<0.01). Urinary Ca/creatinine ratio of the premenopausal women was negatively correlated with plant protein(r=-0.529, p<0.05) and plant calcium(r=-0.579, p<0.05). BMD of lumbar spine of postmenopausal women showed positive correlation with lean body mass(r=0.469, p<0.01) and body weight(r=0.383, p<0.05). Urinary Ca/creatinine ratio for the postmenopausal women was positively correlated with ALP(r=0.404, p<0.01) and urinary Na/creatinine ratio(r=0.389, p<0.05). In conclusion, it is necessary to maintain adequate body weight and to increase calcium intake for the premenopausal women. It is also important to increase muscle mass and reduce salt intake for the postmenopausal women.

Purpose: This study was to verify the effects of a fluid therapy education program for aged stroke patients for preventing dehydration, pyuria and bacteriuria. Methods: The study employed a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design in quasi experimental basis. Subjects were 38 stroke patients (20 in the experimental group and 18 in the control group) older than 65, hospitalized in a senior care center in S city, Korea. Results: The amount of daily average fluid intake, normal ratio of blood urea nitrogen-creatinine ratio, serum $Na^+$ and urine white blood cells were increased significantly in the experimental group. Normal ratio of bacteriuria increased in the experimental group, but not significantly. Conclusion: The education program is considered to be an effective nursing intervention tool for preventing dehydration and urinary tract infections which related to the secondary wellness of aged stroke patients. However, longer term study is necessary for better quality of nursing and developing more specific education programs for aged stroke patients usually hospitalized for a long period of time.

In oder to study the correlation between daily urinary output of sodium chloride and blood pressure, twenty four hour urine samples were collected from 224 cases (70 male and 154 female) of healthy Koreans whose age varied from 18 to 70 years old. The volume and concentration of sodium, chloride and potassium and total nitrogen were measured, along with the resting blood pressure. Results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. Daily urinary output was increased as a function of age. However, daily urinary output per unit sulface area was maintained at approximately 800 to 900 $ml/m^2$ in all age groups of male and it increased as a function of age in female groups. There was no significant difference between male and female. 2. The daily urinary sodium concentration was decreased gradually acceding to age in both sexes. Daily excretion of sodium was constant regardless of age in both sexes but especially high in 25-39 year female age group, which was slightly greater in males than in females. 3. The daily urinary chloride concentration was at approximately 250 meq/L in all age groups of male and which decreased as a function of age in females. 4. Hence the daily urinary output of sodium chloride was constant in all age groups of males which increased as a function of age in female groups. However, daily excretion of sodium chloride per unit sulface area was maintained at approximately 11 $gm/m^2$ in males and which increased as a function of age in females. 5. The daily urinary excretion of potassium was constant regardless of age in both sexes. 6. Urinary K/Na ratio was maintained at approximately 0.27 in males and 0.33 in females. 7. The daily urinary output of total nitrogen amount was approximately $8{\sim}10$ gm in males and $7{\sim}9$ gm in females. However, daily urinary output of nitrogen per unit sulface area was constant regardless of age in both sexes. 8. The systolic blood pressure was increased gradually according to the age in both sexes and was higher for males than females under 40 years of age. However, there was no significant difference between both sexes in ages over 40 years. 9. Quantitative comparisons indicated that daily urinary output and sodium chloride excretion are higher while daily potassium output, nitrogen excretion and urinary K/Na ratio are significantly lower among Koreans than a among Occidentals. These findings suggest that average Koreans live on low-protein and high-salt diet throughout their livers. Statistical result obtained may he summarized as follows; 10. The relation between blood pressure and sodium concentration of urine. The correlation between systolic blood pressure and sodium concentration was negatively associated for both sexes and the correlation coefficient was significant for females $({\gamma}_1=-.19<-{\gamma}_{152},\;_{0.05}=-0.159)$ and it was not significant for males $({\gamma}_1=-.19>-{\gamma}_{68},\;_{0.05}=-0.232)$ tut may be due to the sample size for males. The correlation between diastolic blood Pressure and sodium concentration was negatively associated for both sexes and the correlation coefficient was significant for males $({\gamma}_1=-.37<-{\gamma}_{68},\;0.05=-0.232)$ and the relation was not significant for females $({\gamma}_1=-.11>-{\gamma}_{152},\;_{0.05}=-0.159)$. 11. The relation between blood pressure and daily urinary sodium chloride excretion. The association between systolic blood pressure and sodium chloride excretion was positively correlated for both sexes and the relation was significant for females $({\gamma}_1=.20>{\gamma}_{152},\;_{0.05}= 0.159)$ and it was insignificant for males $({\gamma}_1=.09<{\gamma}_{68},\;_{0.05}=0.232)$, The relation between diastolic blood pressure and sodium chloride excretion was positively associated and insignificant for both sexes males $({\gamma}_1=.17<{\gamma}_{68},\;_{0.05}=0.232)$ and females $({\gamma}_1=.09<{\gamma}_{152},\;_{0.05}=0. 159)$. 12. The relation between daily urinary nitrogen excretion and sodium chloride excretion. The association between daily nitrogen excretion and sodium chloride excretion was positively significant for both sexes, males $({\gamma}_1=.31>{\gamma}\;_{68},\;_{0.05}=0.232)$ and females $({\gamma}_1=.36>{\gamma}_{-152},\;_{0.05}=0.159)$.

We surveyed the incidence of urinary calculi for feeding period, urinary lesion, composition of calculi and changes of serum chemistry with Korean native castrated steers, which are growing until 26 through 31 months. Without showing any clinical signs such as urethral obstruction, hydronephrosis and strangury for all group, $37.8\%$ (34 out of 90) of Korean native steers carried urinary calculi in carcass. The incidence of urine calculi far different feeding stages from 26 to 31 months were observed as $13.3-60.0\%$er, no significant differences were detected. The distribution of calculi were kidney $(24.4\%)$, kidney and bladder $(10\%)$ and kidney, bladder and urine $(3.3\%)$. Congestion of urinary bladder was shown in $26.6\%$ of Korean native steers. Korean native steers with urinary calculi $(41.2\%)$ had more possibilities (P<0.05) to bring outbreaks of congestion of urinary bladder than those of without calculi $(17.8\%)$. The main composition of calculi were struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals), calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, calcium oxalate, non-oxalate calcium, ammonia and phosphate. The distribution of urine pH was $71.7\%$(above pH 8.0), $12.2\%$ (between pH 7.0 and pH 8.0) and $16.6\%$ (under pH 7.0). Like shown in herbivores, most of the urine pH was distributed as alkaline urine. Serum creatinine was shown significant difference (P<0.05) according to incidence of calculi but other serum chemistry didn't show any difference in serum chemistry. These results suggest that feeding until 26 to 31 months in Korean native steers castrated at 6 months of the age elicits urinary calculi and congestion of urinary bladder, but not clinical abnormality. And adjustment of the dietary Can ratio to a level of 2:1 or greater during feeding period may reduce the possibility of incidence of urinary calculi in Korean native steers.
