Organic Acids in Man

Urinary organic acids in man. I. Normal patterns.

We studied qualitative pattern of urinary acidic metabolites excreted by normal persons. The results provide a basis on which to compare results for patients with potentially abnormal organic acidurias. A series of urinary polyhydroxy (aldonic and deoxyaldonic) acids has been identified. Most of these compounds have not been previously reported in human urine, except in connection with the pres...

Urinary organic acids in man. III. Quantitative ranges and patterns of excretion in a normal population.

We studied the urinary excretion of organic acids by normal human subjects in an ambulant normal population, chosen without conscious bias. Quantitative ranges and frequency distribution patterns of excretion are reported, as a basis on which to compare results obtained for patients whose clinical condition suggests that their excretion values may be abnormal. The quantitative valuse we observe...

Lymphatic transport of bile acids in man.

The possibility of a lymphatic transport of bile acids in man was investigated. Four patients were studied 2-4 weeks after renal transplantation. As a part of the postoperative immunosuppressive treatment they all had a thoracic duct fistula for lymphatic drainage. After a standardized meal, lymph and peripheral blood samples were simultaneously collected at 30-minute intervals for 210 minutes....
