Abstract
Plasma aldosterone (PA) was determined by RIA after extraction and thin layer chromatography using at antibody against aldosterone 18,21 - disuccinate - BSA in a dilution of 1:10. The average recovery of 1,23 H- aldosterone was 58,1 + 5,7 (SD) %.
PA levels in 52 health children of different age groups 2–14 years at 8 a.m. in supine position were as follows:
In addition, the preliminary results of a few pathologic conditions (adreno-cortical deficiency, ketonemic vomiting are presented and the method of PA determination modified in our institute, is discussed.
