Arginase Activity, Ornithine and Urea Levels in Breast Cyst Fluid

Gross cystic disease of breast is the commonest benign disease of breast effecting1:20 women in the western world. There are two groups of breast cyst; lined eitherby metaplastic epithelium (Na/K<3) or flattened epithelium (Na/K>3). There isclear parallelism between their electrolyte ratios an...
