Abstract
The preparation and analysis of samples and the mathematical relations involved in the use of deuterium oxide (which is distributed chiefly as HDO) for measuring total body water are described. In 27 subjects in whom this procedure was carried out, a relative error of 2.9% in the mean volume of 39.8 1 was found.Keywords
