Evaluating urinary oestriol estimation.

Critical evaluation of 24-hour urinary oestriol estimation in clinical practice.

Decreased urinary oestriol concentrations in pregnant women during hexamine hippurate treatment.

had no relevance to his illness. He was a non-pigmented normotensive man with an enlarged (6 cm below costal margin) firm non-tender liver, and was otherwise normal. Apart from minor abnormality of liver function tests the results of other relevant laboratory investigations were normal. The serum iron was 57 7 Mmol/l (322 Mg/100 ml) and 100 saturated transferrin. The resting electrocardiogram (...

Intrauterine Fetal Growth Retardation: A Comparison of Human Placental Lactogen Urinary Oestriol and Biparietal Diameter Measurements

In a previous communication, Robinson et al. (1973) compared the value of five methods of fetal monitoring in respect of their ability to differentiate between normal and growth-retarded pregnancies in a small series of patients. These tests included sonar biparietal cephalometry, 24 h urinary oestriol assays and determination of serum oxytocinase, total alkaline phosphatase and heat-stable alk...

Spectrophotometric estimation of urinary taurine.

The amino-acid taurine has been shown to be a normal urinary constituent (Dent, 1948). Employing a quantitative chromatographic technique a diminished taurine excretion in cystinuria (Stein, 1951) and in Wilson's disease (Stein, Bearn, and Moore. 1954) has been detected. An increased taurine excretion. on the other hand, has been used as a sensitive index of minor liver damage in infectious hep...
