Concept of oliguria in relation with transport membrane.
Why in the initial phase of fluid replacement is rapid in both isotonic and hypotonic dehydration, but it is contraindicated in hypertonic dehydration
Blood volume must be restored in a person who has lost large amounts of blood due to serious injury. This is often accomplished by infusing isotonic NaCl solution into the blood. Why is this more effective than infusing an isoosmotic solution of a penetrating solute, such as urea?
