patients with type 1diabetescan develop severely elevated blood glucose levels. Lack of insulin also causes the breakdown of fat cells, with the release of ketones into the blood, turning the blood acidic (hence the term ketoacidosis). The acidosis...

The potash, actually, was not pure but contaminated by calcined ox blood. The original recipe was kept secret until 1724, when it was published by John Woodward in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society [167]. The preparation involved the mixing of dried cattle blood, an alkali ...
Potassium acid phosphate is a medication used to reduce the pH levels in the urine. Common side effects of potassium acid phosphate include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, gas (flatulence), high blood potassium levels (hyperkalemia), high level
We also investigated the relationship between salt intake and blood pressure (BP) among the cohort. BP was measured in triplicate and 24 h urine was collected for the determination of urinary sodium (Na), potassium (K), creatinine (Cr) and iodine levels. Hypertension prevalence was 44.3%. ...
