Others appear to have just one direction of abnormality. But some diagnoses may be suggested by the "reverse abnormality." For example, a...
↓aPTT
↓Alk phos
↓ALT
↑B12
↓HDL

🤔Why does heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) lead to sodium retention?
With reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), decreased cardiac output (CO) leads to neurohormonal activation and sodium avidity.
If CO is preserved in HFpEF, what's the inciting event?
