Have a look to see how their osmolarity and tonicity across the cell membrane compare to plasma. Renal (= urine output) : anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) release from the posterior pituitary is stimulated by microchanges in plasma osmolarity. What loss mechanisms do we need to consider? A urinary catheter was also inserted.

One side effect of this medication is that it can reduce the absorption of antiepileptic medications such as valproate, vigabatrin, and lamotrigine and reduce their plasma concentration, thus putting patients taking these medications at higher risk of seizure.

Of these, the only tests that provide information on the actual function of the liver itself are the INR, bilirubin, and albumin. 1 GGT is an enzyme located on the plasma membrane of hepatocytes that is involved in the regeneration of glutathione. All others are indirect indicators of damage to hepatic and biliary cells.
