Plasma aldosterone levels and the serum electrolytes potassium, sodium and magnesium of 38 patients with healthy adrenals were determined. Under physiological conditions there were no significant correlations between these parameters. In two patients with an aldosterone producing adenoma of the adrenals (syndrome of Conn) we found very low levels of potassium and low levels of magnesium. The levels of sodium lay in the upper normal range. Plasma aldosterone levels are raised strongly. After resection of the tumors the mentioned parameters normalized. In 16 patients with cirrhosis and ascites we generally found values of aldosterone, potassium, sodium and magnesium which lay in the lowest normal range. Under treatment with spironolactone the aldosterone levels raised and reached values which are characteristical of the syndrome of Conn. Potassium raised to the upper normal range, magnesium raised significantly, sodium diminished slightly.
