title: [Electrometric determination of urinary ammonia using a continuous-flow automatic method].
abstract: A critical study has been designed to evaluate the application of an electrometric method to the assay of ammonia in urine. The use of NH3-gaz permeable membrane electrode with a continuous flow system seems to have solved most of the problems evoked by former studies. The results obtained show that the method is reliable for the use in clinical routine. The simplification of the ammonia measurement procedure thus achieved will allow an important increase in the number of renal function tests that a clinical routine laboratory can handle in a hospital.
