A number of tests have been developed to aid in the solution of this problem, and the following report summarizes our experience with such tests.REVIEW OF THE TESTS1.Differential Renal Excretion of Urine and Its Sodium Concentration:In 1956 Howard et al.4reported that a significant reduction in urine volume and its sodium concentration from one kidney as compared to that obtained simultaneously...Bibliography1.
