PHYSICOCHEMICAL ESTIMATION OF ALDOSTERONE IN URINE 1

Abstract

We have recently described (2) the essential features of a physicochemical method for the specific determination of aldosterone in body fluids and tissues. This method has become of special interest to clinical groups, particularly for the determination in urine. In the meantime, it has been possible to improve and simplify the method over several hundred determinations, so that it is now suitable, as a standardized procedure, for use in routine clinical investigations of urine. These reasons prompt us to publish the following modified and detailed description, so that the deli- cate procedure should be perfectly reproducible.
