STOP-FLOW STUDIES ON RENAL HANDLING OF LITHIUM IONS IN THE DOG

Journal Article · · American Journal of Physiology (U.S.)
OSTI ID:4767542

Stop-flow experiments were performed on dogs after serum Li concentrations had been raised to 10 to 21 mEq/liter with intravenous infusions of Li salts. Li is actively reabsorbed at a distal portion of the nephron close to the site of sodium and potassium reabsorption. Li may cause alkalinization of the urine by inhibiting H/sup +/ secretion. Stimulation of K secretion by Li could not be demonstrated. Li may reduce K reabsorption. (auth)
