The aim of present investigation was to establish possible histochrome's effect on the renal excretory function. During 10 days was being administrated histochrome by subcutaneous injections in dose 10 mg/kg. Every 2 days was being detected daily renal excretions of water, creatinin, sodium and potassium. Long-term histochrome's administration was followed by a fivefold increasing of water excretion and comparable amplification of creatinin. Sodium's and potassium's excretions were increasing to a lesser degree. The revealed histochrome's diuretic effect qualitatively reminds action of diuretic plants, but quantitatively it was compared with thiazid's one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
