Abstract
In nine subjects undergoing urography with metrizamide measurements of total serum clearance of 51Cr-EDTA have been made before, during, and after the urography. During the urography both total serum clearances and renal clearances were determined for 51Cr-EDTA and metrizamide. The present study in man confirms the previous results from investigations in rabbits, that most of the intravenously injected metrizamide is excreted through the kidneys, that tubular reabsorption of metrizamide occurs and suggests that metrizamide might be used with advantage for urography.Keywords
