Abstract
Summary
The daytime pattern of renal excretion of electrolytes in normal and thyroparathyroidectomized dogs is similar. Marked changes in the excretion of phosphorus were observed with dissociation from the patterns of excretion of sodium and calcium. The fractional excretion of phosphorus varied from 0.01 to 0.35 independent of parathyroid hormone or changes in serum phosphorus.
Technical assistance was provided by John Steppe, Ernest Tallos, and Sandy Howard. Mrs. Catherine Hoyt provided valuable secretarial assistance and Nicholas Bolotine prepared the illustrations.
