the rates of sodium-lithium countertransport in red cells were significantly higher in the diabetic patients with renal disease ( mean +/- sd , 0.55 +/- 0.19 mmol of lithium per liter of red cells per hour ) than in the diabetic patients without renal disease ( 0.33 +/- 0.16 ; p less than 0.005 ) and in the nondiabetic patients with renal disease ( 0.31 +/- 0.14 ; p less than 0.001 ) .
