Examines electrolyte and membrane potential changes in tuberculosis patients, suggesting clinical implications for treatment outcomes.
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading infectious causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Beyond pulmonary manifestations, TB is associated with metabolic disturbances that may contribute to disease severity and treatment outcomes. Electrolyte abnormalities and alterations in membrane potential have been reported among pulmonary tuberculosis patients, but their clinical significance remains inadequately characterized.
