Abstract
Abstract 1.1. Surgical pituitrin in the dose used (0.5 c.c. or 10 units) is an active preparation capable of concentrating urine. 2.2. The substitution of pituitrin for the period of water deprivation used in the Fishberg test resulted in a 90 per cent correlation of the two tests. 3.3. Absolute failure of the test was encountered in only four cases. 4.4. In six cases the pituitrin test apparently more accurately reflected kidney function than the Fishberg test. 5.5. Statistical analysis of the results revealed an appreciable possibility of disagreement between the two tests when specific gravities range from 1.015 to 1.025. 6.6. A true clinical evaluation of the test will depend upon further comparative studies.
