Pos-746 Pre-Kidney Transplant Medial Arterial Calcification and Post-Transplant Hypertension by a Propensity Score Weighting

Abstract

We discuss the use of urine electrolytes and urine osmolality in the clinical diagnosis of patients with fluid, electrolytes, and acid-base disorders, emphasizing their physiological basis, their utility, and the caveats and limitations in their use. While our focus is on information obtained from measurements in the urine, clinical diagnosis in these patients must integrate information obtained from the history, the physical examination, and other laboratory data.
