[Preoperative correction of volemic disorders in thyrotoxicosis].

The investigations conducted by the authors enabled them to pinpoint further the complex of symptoms determining a phase character of volemic disturbances in thyrotoxicosis. The phases somewhat reveal the volemic substrate of thyrotoxicosis, allowing an aimed management of some stages of the preoperative preparation. The latter is conventionally divided according to Sh. Milk into three periods: initial, intermediate and final. The main aim of the preoperative correction is to normalize hydration correlations, that is likely to be gained by excreting excessive sodium and replenishment of potassium deficit.
