(2) WATER AND ELECTROLYTE METABOLISM IN LIVER DISEASE

Water and Electrolyte Metabolism II

I have followed the lysosome field since it was proposed as a concept by deDuve and his co-workers in 1955 and find this collection of papers by workers in that field an interesting addition that has many sparkling con-addition, of course, to deDuve, to name a few) but it also has several several shortcomings. For the uninitiated (and there are surprisingly many for whom "lysosome" is a new wor...

Water and electrolyte balance in disease.

Many medical and surgical emergencies are complicated by derangement of water and electrolyte balance, the successful management of which depends upon the rapid assessment of essential clinical and laboratory data, and the prompt institution of a certain pre-arranged routine of treatment. An attempt is made in this review to illustrate the application of physiological principles to specific cli...

Water and Electrolyte Metabolism in Relation to Age and Sex

. . . problems against the larger spectrum of general medicine." They have done this with almost the brevity of an abstract, yet with the clarity of a fuller presentation. The ample illustrations are well chosen and cleanly executed. Good bibliographies are supplied. The volume represents good current urological thinking and may be recommended as a manual for students and a reference for practi...

Water and Electrolyte Metabolism in Con - gestive Heart Failure

SINCE 1944 when Warren and Stead' first attributed the fluid retention of chronic congestive heart failure to a specific renal dysfunction, an ever increasing interest has centered upon the kidney in an attempt to elucidate its part in the production of edema. Seven years later, although there has been no general agreement on the mechanism, it is believed by many workers that in heart failure t...
