Renal Handling of 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid in the Dog.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1965
SummaryThe renal clearance of 5-HIAA at low plasma concentrations in the dog averaged 143 ± 7.8 ml/min/M2 with simultaneous creatinine and sodium iodohippurate I131 clearances of 66 ± 3.6 and 223 ± 20 ml/min/M2, respectively. Probenecid administration resulted in a marked depression of the 5-HIAA clearance.
