"This is an execution without a sentence"

What the blood indicators of Alexei Navalny mean. Analyzes the famous neurologist Michael Mirier

On Sunday, the attending doctors of Navalny - Yaroslav Ashshin, Alexei Erlich, Alexey Kashcheev and Anastasia Vasiliev tried to get to their patient. They arrived in the cover and spent several hours in front of the locked gates of IK-2. They were not allowed to Navalny .. Ashikhmin’s trip and his comrades took place as modestly as possible, without any hype. They had to save a person, not a cry. The relevant requests, for all instances, without noise, was also submitted by Julia Navalny.

In parallel, the letter with a request to let doctors to Navalny signed 78 world celebrities, including Joan Rowling and five Nobel laureates in literature. To let the EU , The New York Times and The Washington Post called on. And Navalny himself, starving, does not ask for excessive. He does not require Putin's resignation or revise his own deadline. He asks only to allow doctors to himself, to which he has the right by law.

Putin's behavior looks counter -productive to oddity. After all, this is in the interests of the Kremlin - to remove Navalny from the first lanes of newspapers, namely, the disabilities of doctors for it and now makes it one of the main not only Russian but also international news. To remove Navalny from the news, it is enough to allow a doctor to him. To disrupt the rally announced by the Volkov, it is enough to allow a doctor to a bulk. In addition, if Putin is going to use Navalny for bargaining with the West, then it is necessary that the object of the bargain is alive. And he can die at any time.

The fact that the numbers in the analysis of Navalny from a medical point of view mean, we talked with the American neurologist Michael Martyr, the head of children's neurology in one of the hospitals of Florida.

- Navalny in the analyzes that are taken in a prison hospital, it was written: potassium - 7, 1 mmol/l. Michael, what does potassium mean - 7.1?

-There is such a thing as sodium-potassium pump . The cell constantly drives potassium inside, and sodium goes out. If potassium is a lot outside, then the pump does not work, and the balance is broken. For the work of the heart, this balance is absolutely critical. The increased potassium content in the blood, that is, outside the cell membrane, at any moment can lead to fatal arrhythmia. Let me remind you that

The introduction of a large dose of potassium causes heart arrest in systole and is used in American prisons to actle death sentences.

- What would you, as a doctor, do if the patient had received the patient’s tests from the laboratory, and in them - potassium - 7.1?

- Any potassium that is higher than 6 will return back from the laboratory with a red note Critical Value. First of all, this analysis will be immediately repeated to make sure that this is not a mistake.

- Ok, repeated (which in the case of Navalny was not done). And potassium - 7. What to do?

-Firstly, such a patient should be on constant cardimonitoring. It should be connected to telemetry, and the nurse should observe its condition for 24 hours. The slightest squeak - everyone is running. Secondly, Treatment of Acute Hyperkalemia immediately begins. Such patients are immediately administered by calcium chloride and magnesia.

- What could be the cause of this condition?

- It can be many reasons, including diabetes, which, obviously, does not have Navalny. One of the causes of the increased potassium content in the blood can be cordial disorders after the poisoning of phosphoroorganic substances. Pubmed has an article on this topic . Of course, this can be because he is starving. Another common reason is dehydration, most likely, he does not drink a lot.

- How dangerous is the state of Navalny?

- Once again: if he has potassium above six, this is Critical Result. He has every chance of critical arrhythmia, by the way, this is today in all our American news. This is really dangerous, you can die, as do not go to the grandmother.

This is an acute life -threatening state. Regardless of the reason, it should be in a well -equipped medical chamber on round -the -clock cardiomonitoring under the supervision of experienced doctors,

preferably cardiologists. Otherwise, this falls under the category of non -ordering. This is what they judge in Russia: if it turned out that the person was not assisted.
