Abstract
A method is described for the semi-automated measurement of inulin con centrations in serum and urine in the presence of glucose. The concent ration of glucose is measured simultaneously and is used to correct fo r almost all ''inulin-like'' interferences, The inulin standard curve is linear over a wide range (5-2500 mg/l). Between-run precision is < 6% and recovery from spiked sera is 98%. This method offers the possib ility of measuring glomerular filtration rate in patients with varying glucose concentrations (e. g. diabetics).
