Description/Abstract:

(CONT'D FROM TITLE) (STANFORD MEDICAL BULLETIN, VOL. 6, NO. 1, FEBRUARY 1948, PGS 81-87) (PARTIAL). THE NORMAL SUBJECTS WERE CYSTOSCOPED AND URETERAL CATHETERS WERE PLACED IN THE PELVES OF EACH KIDNEY. URINE WAS COLLECTED SEPARATELY FROM EACH CATHETER. THE PATIENTS WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE WERE TOO ILL TO PERMIT SUCH A PROCEDURE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ONLY BLADDER CATHETERS WERE USED. THE EXCRETION OF RADIOSODIUM WAS STUDIED. THE RADIOSODIUM REQUIRED ABOUT THREE TIMES AS LONG AN INTERVAL TO APPEAR IN THE URINE OF THE PATIENTS WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE AS IN THE NORMAL SUBJECTS. IN NO INSTANCE DID THE CONCENTRATION OF RADIOSODIUM IN THE URINE OF PATIENTS WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE EXCEED THAT IN THE SERUM; IN THE NORMAL SUBJECTS IT VARIED OVER A WIDER RANGE THAN IN THE PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE, AND EXCEEDED, EQUALED, OR WAS LESS THAN THAT IN THE SERUM. THE RADIOSODIUM CLEARANCE IN THE PATIENTS WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE WAS DEFINITELY LESS THAN THAT IN THE NORMAL SUBJECTS.
