Abstract
In 3 cases of beriberi with high-output congestive failure, bed rest, low Na, and a vitamin-rich diet (treated with or without thiamine supplements), cellular uptake of K with or without Na and cellular ejection of water was demonstrated. The consequent osmotic inactivation of cellular base was comparable with that associated with recovery from low-output congestive failure.Keywords
