Glucuronic acid contents of blood and excretion of glucuronic acid in the urine of normal adults, nephritic patients and hepatic patients, and glucuronide content of plasma and elimination of glucuronic acid in the urine of nephritic patients and hepatic patients were measured and the following results were obtained.
1. Glucuronic acid and sodium glucuronate were not absorbed by the peroral administration.
2. The more rapid increase and decrease of blood glucuronic acid were observed after the intravenous injection of sodium glucuronate than after the peroral administration of glucuronolactone.
3. Elimination of glucuronide glucuronic acid in the urine of normal adults was decreased after the intravenous injection of sodium glucuronate or the peroral administration of glucuronolactone.
4. After the intravenous injection of sodium glucuronate (0.5gm), 94% of gigen dose in normal adults, 89% of that in patients who had liver disease and 61% of that in nephritic patients were recovered from the urine within 24 hours.
5. After the peroral administration of glucuronolactone (2gm), 12% of given dose in normal adults, 7.7% of that in hepatic patients and 10.3% of that in nephritic patients were recovered from the urine within 24 hours.
6. In 13 casas of nephritic oatients and normal adulfs, a positive correlation (15 minute r=0.930 and 2 hours, r=0.832) was proved between excreted dose of free glucuronic acid in the urine within 24 hours after the intravenous injection of sodium glucuronate and excreted dose of PSP after the intravenous injection of the dye.
7. Elimination of glucuronic acid in the urine and glucuronide content of plasma in hepatic patients proved normal.
8. In 24 cases of nephritic patients especially who had intensive injurly of kidney, glucuronide content of plasma was increased and elimination of glucuronic acid in the urine was decreased as compared with normal value.
9. Diuresis and amelioration were recognized in nephritic patients following the daily intravenous injection of sodium glucuronate.
