We have done this in all departments, surgery, obstetrics, pediatrics and medicine, for the prevention or correction of oliguria or anuria and azotemia, and of dehydration and edema. We have found this practice to be of value in the prevention of serious renal complications in general. We believe that, particularly in cardiovascular-renal disease where such complications are so frequently encountered, it has reduced our morbidity and mortality.At the...Bibliography1.
