Acid-base, calcium, potassium and aldosterone metabolism in renal tubular acidosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:At present, the determination of dry weight in patients on hemodialysis is largely made empirically by trial and error. Extracellular volume (ECV) assessment by bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a preferable technique for determining dry weight, and it also provides useful data on body composition. METHODS:We ...
