title: Anion excretion pattern following infusion of hyperoncotic human serum albumin into dogs.
abstract: The effects of hyperoncotic human serum albumin on the excretion rates of several electrolytes and cyclic-AMP were measured in mongrel dogs and the results were compared with those obtained after the infusion of saline. Hyperoncotic albumin increased the excretion rates of sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, and phosphate. There was a small increase in chloride excretion after albumin, while there was a significant decrease in the rate of excretion of cyclic-AMP. Saline, on the other hand, caused a marked increase in the rate of of excretion of all the measured ions. Like albumin, saline was associated with a decrease in the rate of excretion of cyclic-AMP. The marked increase in bicarbonate and phosphate excretion suggests that the response to albumin which includes decreased isotonic reabsorption in the proximal tubule and increased urinary sodium excretion could result from decreased reabsorption in the proximal tubule accompanied by distal sodium and chloride reabsorption. Saline, on the other hand, caused a greater increase in sodium excretion and, although phosphate and bicarbonate excretion also increased, a much greater effect on the excretion of chloride was observed, suggesting that saline may also decrease sodium and chloride reabsorption in the distal nephron.
