THE CONTROL OF RENAL BLOOD FLOW AND GLOMERULAR FILTRATION IN NORMAL MAN

Abstract

This report is concerned with the effective renal blood flow and rate of glomerular filtration in normal man, as determined by the diodrast and inulin clearances (26) during diuresis and during the action of phlorizin, adrenin, caffeine, nitrite, and typhoid vaccine. The observations not only throw light on the action of these agents, but also afford information concerning the physiological control of renal blood flow and glomerular activity.
