Abstract
The present work represents the results of observations on the character of the nitrogenous metabolism in a patient who was placed on a diet containing a sufficient supply of calories and a limited proportion of protein, so that his kidneys could readily remove the end products of catabolism. That the capacity of the kidneys were not overtaxed may be concluded from the fact that the patient remained practically in nitrogenous equilibrium for four months. On this patient it was attempted to establish whether or not the abnormal, as v. Noorden termed it “bizarre” nitrogen elimination observed in course of nephritis is conditioned exclusively by faults of elimination.
