If one kidney is removed, the other increases in size and function to handle the overload. Treatment when failure of both kidneys occurs usually requires dialysis by means of an artificial kidney machine. In cases of less severe kidney failure, this process allows the kidney tissue time to ...

Sodium and potassium in urine were determined by flame photometry and creatinine by an automated enzymatic method at certified laboratories. Overweight was considered a body mass index, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, of 25 to less than 30; obesity, 30 or ...
sodium. Sodium is absorbed throughout thedigestive tractand is generally regarded to be 90% available from common feedstuffs and 100% available from inorganic compounds. Consequently, there is little sodium excreted in feces, with the primary route of excretion, as for potassium, being urine. ...
Urine is the only route by which sodium excretion can be precisely regulated to match the sodium intake. Depending on the dietary intake and the status of body sodium content, urinary sodium loss can range from less than 1 mmol in a state of sodium deficit, to more than 500 mmol per day...
overload in a patient's body. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for simultaneously and quantitatively determining sodium concentration and creatinine concentration in a patient's urine sample and to a method of detecting sodium depletion and/or sodium overload in a patient's ...
By means of the sodium-potassium pump, living human cells pump three sodium ions out of the cell in exchange for two potassium ions pumped in; comparing ion concentrations across the cell membrane, inside to outside, potassium measures about 40:1, and sodium, about 1:10. In nerve cells, ...

To make the urine (pee) less acidic in people with certain types of kidney problems, such as kidney stones To reduce the amount of acid in the stomach Sodium citrate/citric acid may also be used for other conditions as determined by your health care provider. Note: The FDA has not found...
enzyme rhodanese, also known as thiosulfate sulfurtransferase. Rhodanese is a key enzyme naturally produced in the body for detoxification of environmental toxins. Sodium thiosulfate facilitates the conversion of cyanide by rhodanese into a relatively less toxic thiocyanate that is eliminated in the urine...
