It was found that (1) EH patients had a pronounced defect of both the active and passive trans-port of sodium ions by the erythrocytes; (2) a higher plasma level of EDLC was detected in EH pa-tients as compared with that of the control, but the changes of EDLC and soudium pump were notparallel; (3) after the administration of nifedipine and prazosin, the function of sodium pump wasmarkedly improved and the plasma level of EDLC decreased. In addition, the relationship betweenthe transport of sodium ions by erythrocytes and the pathogenesis of EH, and the effects of anti-hypertensive agents were discussed.展开更多
