Polycystic kidney disease in patients on the renal transplant waiting list: trends in hematocrit and survival.

abstract：BACKGROUND:About 1% of patients admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) have hypernatremia, a condition associated with a mortality rate of 20 to 60%. Management recommendations originate from intensive care unit studies, in which patients and medical diseases differ from those in ED. METHODS:We retrospectively stud...
