Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background. A 57-year-old woman was referred to a nephrology clinic because of chronic hypokalemia. She had a history of polycystic kidney disease, resistant hypertension, atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and end-stage renal disease, and had received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor at the age of 48 years. At presentation, the patient described symptoms of chronic fatigue and muscle aches, but she did not report pareses. Her medications included four antihypertensive agents, glucose-lowering drugs, immunosuppressants, digoxin, a coumarin derivative, and potassium chloride.Investigations. Full history, physical examination, laboratory testing of blood and urine, including aldosterone-torenin ratio, and a saline infusion test.Diagnosis. Primary aldosteronism.Management. Treatment with spironolactone resulted in prompt control of hypertension and hypokalemia, allowing discontinuation of potassium chloride and reduction in antihypertensive medication. © 2010 Macmillan Publishers Limited.
