Exacerbation by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor of prior acute lung injury: implication of neutrophils.

abstract：:A difference between potassium concentrations in arterial plasma and venous serum was evaluated. The difference was 0.5 mM/litre, with a range of 0.1 to 1.1 mM/liter. Multiple factors operating primarily upon the venous sample are responsible for this difference. The value for arterial plasma potassium is stable and p...
