Urobilinogen Excretion in Normal Adults

Urobilinogen excretion in normal adults; results of assays with notes on methodology.

HE QUANTITATIVE ESTIMATION OF UROBILINOGEN in feces and urine in the evaluation of hepatic and hemolytic diseases has become widely accepted as a useful tool both for clinical and research purposes. Our interest in urobilinogen assays stemmed principally from a study of hepatic function subsequent to major thermal trauma. Of the several methods available for this analysis, the one based on the ...

The fecal excretion of urobilinogen of normal and lead poisoned guinea pigs.

Excretion of vitamin C in urine by normal adults.

Harris and Ray (1935) reported that 11.74 to 38.1 mg of vitamin C was excreted in urine per day in healthy European subjects. Mosl of the Indian Workers have noted a lower output. Chakraborty and Roy obtai:led an average of 9.65 mg vitamin C excretion per day in two subjects. Ranganathan and Sankaran(1937) found low figure of7.6 to 9.4 mg per day in four adults, and 10.8 to 27.0 mg in 5 Sikh an...

The excretion of urobilinogen in the stools and urine during malarial infection.

With the technical assistance of F. Schiffer, Dipl. Ing. A VARIABLE degree of blood destruction over and above that occurring physiologically is a constant phenomenon in attacks of malaria. Although blood destruction is always increased in a malarial attack, clinical signs of hemolysis ( jaundice, anemia, etc.) are not always present. The clinical syndrome of hemolytic anemia in malaria is know...

The effect of human plasma transfusion on the fecal urobilinogen excretion on sickle cell anemia.

I. y EUGENE KAPLAN,* M.D. , AND S. ROBERT LEWIS, M.D. I N 1938, Josephsla.b reported a phenomenon occurring in children with hemolytic anemia: fecal urobilinogen excretion was observed to decrease following either blood transfusions, plasma injections or injections of concentrates of human or pig plasma. These decreases were of variable degree, occurred within a week of treatment, and lasted up...
