An examination of the excretion of urea by the bird's kidney is of interest chiefly because in this animal urea is essentially a foreign substance. Only a small fraction of the total nitrogen is excreted in this form, and consequently it might be anticipated that urea would be handled in a different

โฆ Synopsis
One of the most puzzling problems in the comparative physiology of the kidney is the circumstance that the renal tubules participate in the excretion of exogenous creatinine in some mammals (man,

## FIVE FIGURES From anatomical considerations it would appear that in the excretion of waste products the tubules should play a relatively more important role in the bird than in the mammal. The fowl has about twice as many glomeruli as does a rabbit of the same size, but in the former they are
A method for determining the individual pharmacokinetics of endogenous creatinine is derived and applied in 10 post-renal transplant patients. All patients had rapidly decreasing serum creatinine concentrations (C), but relatively constant creatinine clearance (CI,,) during the study period. Based o
