Abstract
The phosphate excretion by the kidney follows different laws well determined by L. Brull1 and since confirmed by other investigators. However, the mechanism of the excretion of phosphate has not been completely explained. Thus it was considered of interest to study the mechanism of excretion of phosphate by the kidney, using radiophosphorus 3215P (The 3215P was prepared by Dr. F. A. Heyn (Philips, Eindhoven), and I am indebted to him for his co-operation and generosity.)
