Abstract
Summary
1. During the hour following intravenous injection of hemoglobin in the rat, about 1/3 of the quantity injected left the circulation by extra-renal routes.
2. Intraperitoneal injection of bovine albumin, with the associated rapid passage of albumin from the circulation, did not affect the rate at which hemoglobin left the circulation.
3. The rate at which hemoglobin leaves the circulation by extra-renal routes is of comparable magnitude to, though less than, the rate of renal excretion.
