Abstract

Measurement of the urinary excretion of osmotically active solutes is an important part of investigation of both concentrating and diluting functions of the kidney. It stands by itself as a technique, in human subjects, of measuring tubular transport of these solutes, and is of particular importance in deciding whether osmotic diuresis has developed as a result of primary renal disease or not.
