19. Electrolyte imbalances that occur in chronic renal failure include:
20. In patients with CKD, sodium intake does not usually need to be restricted until GFR falls to:
21. The bone disease osteodystrophy often occurs in patients with:
22. Osteodystrophy develops because of the kidney’s inability to:
