These figures do not represent much active exercise, and with increased
bodily exertion the solids passed should be more. Men excrete about
one-tenth more than women; there are also less urinary solids passed
with advancing age, and about five per cent may be deducted for each ten
years after forty.
The estimation of the total solids is easy with Haines’ modification of
Hasser’s method. _Multiply the last two figures of the specific gravity
of the urine by the number of ounces voided in 24 hours, and add ten per
cent to the product._ Thus, if the amount passed in 24 hours was 36
ounces with a specific gravity of 1.021, it would be 36 × 21 = 756 + 10
per cent = 832 grains of solids in the whole amount of urine excreted
that day. By comparing this with the table it can be readily ascertained
if the amount is above or below the normal standard for the body weight
of the patient. For many years I have employed this method of
determining the urinary output in hundreds of patients with various
diseases of the skin and cancer, and have found it of inestimable value.
It is understood, of course, that by dietary and medicinal measures the
urinary solids are to be brought up to and maintained at normal.
