Ten healthy controls of matched age and sex were included in the study.They were admitted to the centre and clinically evaluated and the following investigations were done : serum sodium and potassium level, complete blood picture, bleeding time,coagulation time, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time.Plasma fibrinogen, plasma alpha-2- macroglobulin and plasma activity of protein C. In HD group, the laboratory investigations were repeated after correction of dehydration and return of serum sodium to normal range.
