Abstract

Serial determinations of the renal clearance for inulin and para-aminohippuric acid (PAH), maximum renal tubular reabsorptive rate for glucose, maximum urinary concentrating ability, total exchangeable potassium, extracellular volume, and plasma sodium and potassium concentrations were done in seven dogs before and after dietary potassium depletion. The same measurements were also made in two of the dogs during potassium repletion.
