Methods and problems in the measurement of body water and electrolyte pools with radionuclide tracers.
With the possible exception of ECF, body electrolyte spaces and pools can be measured with fair accuracy and are useful in their proper experimental context. The use of improved tracer techniques and mathematical analysis to study transfer rates between pools and the physiological factors which influence these rates offer a promising means of further progress in this field.
