Measurement of total-body 40potassium in patients with urate calculi.

Fifty-eight patients with urate calculi and 31 patients with other (non-urate) calculi were examined for total-body potassium by means of a total-body counter. The patients with urate calculosis were found to differ significantly in their total-body K from patients with other calculi as well as from normal subjects. The results indicate that total-body potassium deficiency is one of the factors causing urate calculosis.

[Changes in hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase ratio after urologic operations].

In 58 patients subjected to urological surgery a statistically significant correlation was found between the repolarization disorder of ischaemic origin on the ECG and the changes in the alpha-HBDH/LDH ratio. After extensive interventions and particularly in aged subjects, the level of the LDH iso-enzyme of myocardial origin may rise without myocardial infarction. The rise is due to myocardial ischaemia, as proved by the ECG.

Hepatitis and its problems in a haemodialysis Unit.

Current knowledge on the hazard of hepatitis in haemodialysis units is reviewed. Its routes of access and spread, and the possibilities of prevention are discussed. The preventive measures employed at the Haemodialysis Unit of the Department of Urology, University Medical School, Pécs, are outlined and the results reflecting three and a half years' experience are presented.

Hepatitis

[Resection syndrome following transurethral resection of the prostate].

The essence and clinical aspects of the resection syndrome occurring in association with transuretheral prostate resection and the possiblity of determining the direction of the absorption of the washing solution are discussed. By means of radioisotope tests a direct correlation was detected between the extent of the haemorrhage and the intravasation of the washing solution. Great importance is ascribed to the vesico-renal reflux often occurring during resection, which might have a major role in the development of post-resectional pyelonephritis.
