CORRECTIONS
Last issue, Volume 17, No. 3, several errors were inadvertently
published.
In one article, titled Metformin Warnings, the author confused
the medications Glyset and Glucovance. It is Glucovance, not Glyset, that is
part metformin.
In another article, titled Kidney Disease: Prevention, Dialysis,
or Transplantation, the telephone number of UNOS, The United Network for Organ
Sharing, was incorrectly listed. The correct number to reach UNOS should be:
1-800-292-9548.
