Correlation of admission S. Na+ and S. Cl- with severity and hospital stay in ADHF patients

Abstract

Background: Electrolyte imbalances, particularly hyponatremia and hypochloremia, are common in ADHF patients and can influence disease severity and outcomes. Understanding the correlation between admission S. Na+ and S. Cl- levels with ADHF severity and hospital stay is crucial for optimizing patient management. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between admission S. Na+ and S. Cl- levels with disease severity and length of hospital stay in ADHF patients. Discussion: Diagnostic studies based on sodium and chloride are not only widely available but also, practicable and relatively inexpensive in comparison to other modalities. A total of 150 ADHF patients were included in the study. The mean admission S. Na+ and S. Cl- levels were assessed in relation to NYHA functional class and EF. Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between admission S. Na+ and S. Cl- levels and NYHA class, as well as EF. Conclusion: The correlation of admission S. Na+ and S. Cl- levels with disease severity and hospital stay in ADHF patients provides important insights. Monitoring and managing electrolyte imbalances, particularly S. Na+ and S. Cl- may have implications for optimizing patient care and improving outcomes in ADHF.
