Red-cell calcium in patients with renal failure.

The red-cell calcium concentration, measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, was found to be significantly higher in patients with end-stage renal failure than in healthy volunteers. This provides one possible explanation for some of the abnormalities of red-cell metabolism known to occur in uraemia.

Fluid and electrolyte disorders. Sodium.

Because water is freely exchangeable across most cell membranes, its distribution is largely determined by physical factors and by the relative osmolal concentrations of the extracellular and intracellular fluids. As the major extracellular cation, sodium is a principal determinant of the extracellular fluid volume.
