Popis: SummaryRenal-excretion and plasma-clearance rates of 85Sr and 45Ca were determined in trained female dogs 18 to 24 hours after the simultaneous intravenous or subcutaneous administration of these two isotopes. Tubular reabsorption of 45Ca in the normal dog was nearly complete, being more than 99 per cent of that filtered at the glomeruli. The reabsorption of 85Sr was consistently less than that of calcium, averaging less than 98 per cent. Clearance measurements, using endogenous creatinine for determining the glomerular filtration rate, indicated a more rapid clearance from the plasma of the strontium isotope (0·91 ml/min for 85Sr and 0·17 ml/min for 45Ca). As a result of these differences, the excretion of 85Sr was 5 to 6 times more rapid than that of 45Ca.Drastic changes in plasma-calcium levels, as achieved by thyropara-thyroidectomy and parathyroid-extract injection, did not appreciably alter the ratio of the excretion rates despite marked changes in the absolute values. The infusion of sodium citrate...
