title: A preliminary study of the measurement of plasma osmotic pressure in equine medicine.
abstract: The normal plasma osmotic pressure was established in 205 Thoroughbred horses. Samples taken from horses suffering from a variety of diseases showed that measurement of this parameter might prove a valuable non specific test for assessing the severity of some diseases in which there are alterations in metabolism.
