Abstract
Summary
The effect of LG-SF dye on whole kidney function and proximal and distal tubular sodium and water reabsorption was studied in rats. In one group tubular samples were obtained immediately after injection of LG while in the other group collections were begun at least 30 min after the last dye injection. No differences between groups in tubular reabsorption of sodium, potassium, water, or whole kidney function were noted. We conclude that all aspects of renal function measured immediately after injection of LG-SF or 30-120 min later do not differ significantly.
