Pulmonary Epithelial Sodium-Channel Dysfunction and Excess Airway Liquid in Pseudohypoaldosteronism

BACKGROUND: Active sodium absorption is the dominant mechanism of ion transport in airway epithelium, but its role in pulmonary physiology and airway host defense is unknown. To address this question, we studied the function of airway epithelial cells and determined the frequency of pulmonary sympto... View More
