THE VELOCITY OF DISTRIBUTION OF SUCROSE BETWEEN PLASMA AND INTERSTITIAL FLUID, WITH REFERENCE TO THE USE OF SUCROSE FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF EXTRACELLULAR FLUID IN MAN 1

Abstract

2Gaudino (3) has shown that comparison of the rate of disappearance of inulin from the plasma after a single injection and after prolonged, constant infusion yields data which, on mathematical analysis, conform with the assumption that in the latter circumstance the inulin is uniformly distributed through some volume of body fluid.
