Description

There is a progressive diminution in renal plasma flow with increasing age in healthy patients. A similar reduction in glomerular filtration rate, as well as the maximum rate of excretion of diodrast, and the maximum rate of reabsorption of glucose, has been found. No subjects with clinical evidence or history of renal disease were included. Subjects were also excluded if they had a blood pressure greater than 140/90.
