Measurement of the concentration of hippurate in the inferior vena cava and renal blood samples performed in 13 subjects with normal or near‐normal serum creatinine concentrations confirmed the prediction that endogenous hippurate was cleared on a single pass through the kidney with the same avidity as that reported for infused para‐amino hippurate. This suggests that a timed urine collection without infusion would provide a measure of effective renal plasma flow. Comparison of the arteriovenous concentration differences for a panel of protein‐bound solutes identified solutes that were secreted by the renal tubule and solutes that were subjected to tubular reabsorption.
