Sodium concentrations in undialyzed and dialyzed parotid salivary secretions
| Dialysis procedure | Subject | Sodium concn (mM)a |
|---|---|---|
| Not dialyzed | 1 | 23.8 ± 1.1 |
| MWCO 500 | 1.58 ± 0.01 | |
| MWCO 1,000 | <0.001 | |
| MWCO 10,000 | <0.001 | |
| Not dialyzed | 2 | 103.1 ± 1.2 |
| MWCO 500 | 0.47 ± 0.01 | |
| MWCO 1,000 | <0.001 | |
| MWCO 10,000 | <0.001 |
Sodium levels were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Values are the averages and standard deviations of results from two experiments performed in triplicate.
