Red-cell calcium in patients with renal failure.
The red-cell calcium concentration, measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, was found to be significantly higher in patients with end-stage renal failure than in healthy volunteers. This provides one possible explanation for some of the abnormalities of red-cell metabolism known to occur in uraemia.
