ANALYSIS OF NORMAL FILIPINO URINE 

 By Dr. Isabelo Concepcion 



Analyses were reported of the twenty-four hour urines of 

 students, laboratory helpers, prisoners, and hospital servants. 

 Characteristic findings for Filipinos are a small volume, low 

 total nitrogen (3.05 to 12.63 grams), a low percentage of urea 

 nitrogen with reference to the total nitrogen, low uric acid 

 (average 0.376 gram), and low chlorides (average 5.86 grams 

 as sodium chloride). The ammonia, the creatinine, the un- 

 determined nitrogen, and the ratios nitrogen phosphoric acid 

 and nitrogen sulphur are in accord with the low nitrogen values 

 of the Filipino dietary.
