Inflammation of the kidneys in lupus patients is called lupus nephritis. Some patients have no indication of kidney problems, but some symptoms are weight gain, high blood pressure, swelling in the face, legs, and/or fingers.
Temperature And Battery Life. There are two parts depending on what you mean by battery life, but the answer to both is yes. As many people have stated, batteries are chemical devices, and temperature almost always has an effect on chemical reactions. Batteries will tend not to produce electricity as easily at very cold temperatures and will produce electricity more easily at high temperatures.
5 I contacted the manufacturer and following is their response: Regular alkali batteries will operate outdoors to about 25 degrees F. Below this they get too cold to generate enough power to broadcast the signal. Lithium batteries will operate to about -4 degrees F. If the temperature is colder than this, the display will show LL.L until the temperature rise above -4. Hope this information proves to be helpful to you. Living in Michigan, this isn't exactly helpful, but at least it verifies the status of the unit.
