Abstract: David Baldurin M.D. Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine University of Illinois College of Medicine; Member Section of Endocrinology and Metabolism Division. of Medicine Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital Chicago Ill. Herbert D. Landahl Ph.D. Professor of Mathematical Biology Division of Biological Sciences University of Chicago Ill. Theodore B. Schwartz M.D. Professor of Medicine University of Illinois College of Medicine; Director Section of Endocrinology and Metabolism Division of Medicine Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital Chicago Ill. This paper was presented in large part at the National Meetings of the American Federation for Clinical Research at Atlantic City New Jersey an April 29 1962. These studies were carried out in the Section of Endocrinology and Metabolism Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital Department of Medicine University of Illinois College of Medicine and the Committee an Mathematical Biology of the University of Chicago Chicago Illinois. They were supported in Part by a grant from the United States Public Health Service (A-4668). Received for publication July 8 1963. Sodium excretion in the presence of a constant daily intake takes the form of 2 to 5 day cyclical fluctuations this pattern becoming increasingly apparent at higher sodium loads. A rough correlation exists between these cyclical fluctuations of sodium excretion and ... schö
