The diuresis which followed this initial stage, however, was not the usual diuresis which is commonly welcomed as an indication that the patient will probably recover. On the contrary, despite a subsiding azotemia and acidosis, diuresis in these cases was accompanied by a striking elevation of the serum sodium and chloride levels....Bibliography1.
