Fecal Electrolytes and Nitrogen During Cortisone or ACTH Therapy. ∗ †

Abstract

Summary and conclusions

1. Cortisone and adrenocorticotropic hormone did not produce any characteristic change in fecal electrolytes and nitrogen in a group of miscellaneous patients maintained on milk formulae of restricted or unrestricted sodium content. 2. Data have been presented on the fecal excretion of sodium, potassium, chloride, and nitrogen during maintenance of such patients on a whole milk or sodium-free milk formula.
