Abstract
This observational study was carried out at our rural medical college in Bihar from the period September 2013 to June 2015. The aim was to evaluate changes in the level of different electrolytes in the body in cases of acute intestinal obstruction. As a matter of study 35 cases were taken as sample size. Major electrolytes were taken into consideration like Na+, K+, chloride, urea and bicarbonate. Regular blood investigations were done for 7 days to check their values and it was compared with the eggleston series. It was studied that there is persistent hyponatremia which had no relation to the duration of obstruction, potassium level remained almost constant, hypochloremia occurred ,in early stages acidosis was noted and elevation in blood urea level was noted especially after 3rd day of obstruction.
