Abstract
Summury
The clearance of chloride was studied simultaneously with that of inulin in hypertensive and in normal individuals under standard conditions of mineral intake and hydration. The cases investigated showed no evidence of urinary tract or other pathology to which an etiological relationship might be attributed. The hypertensive subject is demonstrated to reabsorb chloride to a substantially lesser extent than does the normal subject when compared in terms of the U/P inulin ratio.
Grateful ac.kiiowledgment is made to Dr. Homer Smith and Dr. James Shannon for their helpful advice in the organization of this study.
Funds for this study were obtained tlirough the Alice Cook Guild Memorial Fund for Medical Research, established by Kenneth G. Smith.
