T. Davidsson et al., ABSORPTION OF SODIUM AND CHLORIDE IN CONTINENT RESERVOIRS FOR URINE -COMPARISON OF ILEAL AND COLONIC RESERVOIRS, The Journal of urology, 151(2), 1994, pp. 335-337
The absorptive capacity of urinary reservoir mucosa was studied by mea
suring the fractions of (22)sodium and (36)chloride absorbed after ins
tillation into reservoirs constructed from an ileal or a colonic segme
nt. The absorption of (22)sodium did not differ between the 2 reservoi
r types but absorption of (36)chloride was greater in the colonic rese
rvoirs. The levels of chloride in serum were significantly higher in p
atients with a colonic than in those with an ileal reservoir. In the i
leal reservoirs the absorptive capacity was greater for (22)sodium tha
n for (36)chloride.
