Abstract

A new method capable of determining net Na+ and K+ fluxes across red blood cell membranes has been described in our laboratory. This method has enabled us to demonstrate, in Na+-loaded/K+- depleted erythrocytes, the existence of major abnormalities characteristic of essential (primary) hypertension (1, 2).
