RELATIONS OF EFFECTIVE RENAL BLOOD FLOW AND GLOMERULAR FILTRATION TO TUBULAR EXCRETORY MASS IN NORMAL MAN 1

Abstract

In 1938 Smith, Goldring and Chasis (12) de- scribed methods for measuring the "effective renal blood flow" (diodrast clearance) and the " tubular excretory mass " (diodrast Tm) by the excretion of diodrast at low and high plasma lev- els. The present report concerns the application of these methods to normal subjects under stand- ard or quasi-basal conditions, with special refer- ence to the quantitative relations between the dio- drast clearance, the inulin clearance and diodrast Tm in various subjects.
