After acute administration of ammonium chloride, infants 1 to 16 months of age were similar to older children in their capacity to acidify their urine. The infants had a higher rate of excretion of titratable acid and a lower rate of excretion of ammonium but were similar in their rate of excretion of total hydrogen ion.
