The estimation of urinary catecholamines has assumed clinical significance mainly because of its value in the diagnosis of phaeochromocytoma (Engel and Euler, 1950; Euler, 1951). Since biological methods have obvious limitations for routine work, various chemical methods have been developed (Lund, 1950; Pekkarinen and Pitkanen, 1955; Euler and Floding, 1955a, b). They are based on the same prin...

Measurement of total base of blood serum supplies information indispensable for the complete description of the electrolyte balance in many physiological and pathological states. Older methods involving separate analyses of the principal cations or their conversion to sulfates, with subsequent determination of sulfate, were time-consuming, while the latter was of doubtful accuracy. More recentl...
