A total number of 273 seminal plasma samples from normozoospermia (n = 91), oligozoospermia (n. = 50), oligoasthenozoospermia (n = 76), asthenozoospermia (n = 10) and azoospermia (n = 46) were analysed for sodium and potassium. A decreased sodium level was seen in pathological groups. A negative correlation was found to be in existence between sodium and potassium in seminal plasma in the groups studied except in azoospermia. Positive correlation was found between sodium and motile spermatozoa in normal and oligozoospermia. In oligoasthenozoospermia it was negative. Potassium was negatively correlated with percentage of motile spermatozoa in the groups studied.
