A Study of Lithium Sodium Countertransport in Erythrocytes of Patients with Essential Hypertension.
Ann King Edward Med Uni Jan ;2(1-2):15-8.

Lithium-sodium countertransport activity in E. erythrocytes was studied in 15 mild and IS moderate essential hypertensives and 20 age and sex matched control subjects There was statistically highly significant (P <0.OOl) increase in Vmax of lithium sodium countertransport in essential hypertensives as compared to that of controls. The difference in Vmax of countertransport activity between mild and moderate essential hypertensives was also highly significant (P< 0.001). There was a highly significant correlation (P<0.001, r=0.75, 0.89, 0.92) between Vmax and parameters like diastolic blood pressure, age and body weight o moderate essential hypertensives. The correlation of these parameters with vmax in mild essential hypertensives. The correlation of these parameters with Vmax in mild essential hypertensives was significant (P<0.05, r=0.70, 0.50)
