[Metabolism of potassium and sodium when administered with different anions to patients with ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension]. / Obmen kaliia i natriia pri vvedenii ikh s razlichnymi anionami u bol'nykh ischemicheskoi bolezn'iu serdtsa i arterial'nymi gipertenziiami.

In 116 patients with coronary heart disease, essential hypertension, acute and chronic glomerulonephritis and pyelonephritis, the authors observed differences in the excretion of the ions of 42K, stable potassium, 24Na, stable sodium, chlorine as well as in the value of diuresis during the administration of equimolar solutions of potassium hydrocarbonate and potassium chloride, sodium hydrocarbonate and sodium chloride labeled with 42K and 24Na respectively. These differences depended on the expression of the basic (alkaline) characteristics of the anions of the administered solutions of potassium and sodium and the osmolarity of the administered amount of liquid. Pronounced ion exchange reactions were observed during the administration of KHCO3 solution only, the multiplicity factor of the excretion of sodium and chlorine ions with urine significantly exceeding that of diuresis. During the administration of KCl solutions in the isotonic NaCl solution and 5% glucose, the excretion of sodium and chlorine ions changed strictly in accordance with the changes of diuresis. Similar changes were noted in the administration of the solutions of sodium hydrocarbonate and sodium chloride.

[Comparative evaluation of the toxicity of potassium hydrocarbonate and potassium chloride]. / Sravnitel'naia otsenka toksichnosti gidrokarbonata kaliia i khlorida kaliia

The potassium hydrocarbonate and potassium chloride toxicity was compared in experiments on 113 albino rats. The death following introduction of maximal amounts of potassium chloride was noted to supervene earlier than it did in animals receiving equivalent doses of potassium hydrocarbonate. Simultaneous introduction of sodium hydrocarbonate lowered the toxicity of both potassium hydrocarbonate and chloride. Morphological investigations revealed that toxic doses of potassium hydrocarbonate bring about shifts in the carbohydrate and lipids metabolism. Some mechanisms behind the action produced potassium chloride and hydrocarbonate are discussed.
