Correction of serum chloride concentration in dogs with congestive heart failure
Abstract Background Hypochloremia associated with congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs is likely multifactorial. Loop diuretics cause 1:2 sodium [Na+]:chloride [Cl−] loss, whereas water retention causes a 1:1 [Na+]:[Cl−] dilution. Mathematical [Cl−] correction separates these effects on [Cl−]. Hyp...
