Abstract |
A new method for the determination of urinary formiminoglutamic acid ( FIGLU) using conventional electrophoresis at 200 to 500 v. on cellulose acetate strips is reported. Experience in 166 determinations on 137 patients shows the method to be a simple, practical, and apparently sensitive one for the determination of FIGLU in the urine. Results of the application of the measurement of urinary FIGLU with histidine loading as a test for folic acid deficiency are also reported.
