Figure 1 23Na magnetic resonance imaging of calf muscle. A patient with hypernatremia before (a) and after (b) correction to a normal serum Na+ concentration. The standards are below the calf muscle and contain Na+ concentrations of 10, 20, 30, and 40mmol/l. A remarkable decrease in the muscle Na+ content occurs with correction of serum Na+ concentration, plasma renin, and serum aldosterone.
