Excretion of Osmotically Active Solutes
Chapter
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.
