The effects of severe, acute and mild, intermittent hyperthermia on the transcapillary exchange rates of Na24 and of K42 have been studied in dogs. Measurements were made before and after a single exposure to a rectal temperature of 42.5°C for 1 hour, before and after a single exposure to a rectal temperature of 41.5°C and before and after exposure to the seventh daily rectal temperature elevation to 41.5°C. The sodium exchange rate was seen to be altered in every instance in which a post-hyperthermic measurement was obtained. A measured change in the potassium exchange rate was found to exist only in the animals which had been exposed to daily bouts of intermittent hyperthermia for 7 days.
