Figure 6.

Effect of carbenoxolone, carbenoxolone plus dexamethasone, and fludrocortisone (top panel) on the serum sodium (middle panel) and potassium (bottom panel) concentrations of a patient with PHA. Carbenoxolone normalized plasma electrolytes, addition of dexamethasone reversed this effect, while fludrocortisone at high doses also normalized plasma electrolytes (140).
