Report title: „Changes in electrolytes spectrum of blood plasma under consumption of mineral water“. The aim of the study was to assess the plasma concentration of electrolyte changes, which are using natural mineral water „Tichy“ extracted in Lithuania. The goal of the work: To evaluate the plasma electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca2+ (general and ionized), and Mg2 +) concentration changes in the use of mineral water „Tichy“. Blood electrolyte tests were carried out at Vilnius University Hospital Santariškių Clinics. Centre of Laboratory Diagnostics, Laboratory of Biochemistry. During this period, 30 randomly selected individuals of the age of 19-20 years were examined. The study used the mineral water, and the natural spring water. The study was divided into four stages. Venous blood of the investigated study participants was charged four times: the first time - before the experiment, the second time - after twenty days of consumption of mineral water, the third time - after a two-week break, the fourth time - after twenty days of spring water consumption. After the experiment and calculation of the results the following conclusions were obtained: Consumption of mineral water had no influence on the concentration of sodium ions in blood plasma. Concentration of chloride ions, on the other hand, statistically significantly decreased. Both sodium and chloride ion concentration did not exceed the recommended rate limits. Potassium ion concentration in blood plasma using mineral water was also unchanged remained constant. result of only one participant showed higher concentration then the recommended rate. Consumption of mineral water had not changed magnesium ion concentration. Only one test result indicated, that electrolyte concentration was lower than the recommended rate of minimum value. Common and ionized calcium ion concentration under the consumption of mineral water slightly statistically significantly increased, but for all the investigated it has not exceeded the recommended limit. When mineral water was replaced by spring water calcium ion concentrations had a tendency to decrease. Only one test result has found higher concentrations than the recommended rate. To conclude, the natural mineral water does not unbalance normal concentration of blood plasma electrolytes, but maintain them within the recommended limits, and the limit in support of blood electrolyte concentrations. |
