A hypothesis has been presented that nitrogen retention in lakes has become less efficient at the same time as phosphorus concentrations have decreased due to high phosphorus reduction in wastewater treatment. This might have led to higher loading of nitrogen into the Baltic Sea where nitrogen is considered to be the minimum nutrient. The hypothesis was tested using the mass balance modelling a...

Aim It is well known that continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) produces some amount of nitrogen loss, but there are few tools that are easily applied to measure it. This study aimed to evaluate nitrogen loss using blood urea nitrogen (BUN) measurement in patients receiving CRRT. Methods The subjects were 28 patients who received CRRT (except for liver failure) between 2010 and 2012. Nu...
