In order to study the curative effects of L arginine (L Arg) on high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE),we had treated 10 patients with HAPE by intravenous L Arg at 3700m, and the result was compared with 11 patients who inhaled low concentration nitric oxide (NO) and 24 subjects with routine treatment.The findings were as followscompared with the routine group, inhaling NO or intravenous L Arg could hasten the disappearance of moist rales and X ray shadow, and shorten the illness time( P 0.05). It suggested that intravenous L Arg is a handy way to treat HAPE, and there is no toxicity. It is worthy of further trial.
