Summary:ORT effectiveness for AII cases of different etiology was studied in two groups of patients: 153 patients as ORT received glucosalan (group 1), 75 patients underwent ORT with sodium citrate in solution from 2.5 to 51 within 6 hours. Both group 1 and group 2 patients benefited from the above solutions as following 6 hours of treatment their biochemical and clinical indices improved. The patients attained normal coagulation, filter-reabsorption renal function under disappearance of dehydration and intoxication symptoms. Availability and simplicity of ORT procedure enable its usage prior to hospitalization, in outpatient departments, at home, making hospitalization unnecessary if started at the initial AII stages.
