Book Review: “Water and Electrolyte Metabolism II”

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 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...

Effect of lithium on water and electrolyte metabolism.

Studies were performed in the rat to determine the effect of lithium on electrolyte transport in distal portions of the nephron since steep corticomedullary gradient for lithium has been demonstrated and ionic competition and/or substitution of lithium for sodium and potassium may play a role in inhibition of vasopressin-induced water transport. During the intravenous infusion of LiC1, in the a...

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...
