Erythrocyte sodium, chloride, and water were significantly different when a group of eight patients with cirrhosis of the liver was compared to a group of normal subjects, but plasma levels were not different. This study demonstrated that patients with cirrhosis can be identified by the analysis of erythrocytes. (Author)
