The correlation of total exchangeable sodium (Na/sub c/), potassium (K/ sub e/), and chloride (Cl/sub e/) with lean-body mass is better than with body weight. In normal subjects it is the same for both males and females. A technique of measuring Na/sub c/, K/sub e/, and Cl/sub c/ simultaneously is described. The ratio between sodium space and chloride sparce in normal subjects is significantly greater than unity, and it is suggested that this is due to the excess of Na/sub e/ over Cl/sub e/ in bone. In thyrotoxicosis Na/sub e/ increases relative to lean-body mass whereas K /sub e/ remains unchanged. The relationship between sodium sparce and chloride space is undisturbed. (auth)
