Abstract:
Applying the constant infusion method for eight males, series of three or four clearance periods for each subject were followed by the measurement of Inulin space. The subjects had lower hematocrit values ranging between 20.4 and 43.0%. They gave frequent blood donations over several years and were in a state of chronic post-hemorrhagic anemia. Inulin in plasma and urine was treated with the resorcinol method. The following results were obtained. 1. Subjects with lower hematocrit value showed lower value of renal inulin clearance. Both of them correlated each other . 2. Subjects with the hematocrit value of less than 30% showed a renal clearance value of 89ml/ min/1.73 square meter. 3. Inulin space also had correlation with the hematocrit value. Inulin clearance was great with the subject whose inulin space had expanded.
