NCIt definition : Sodium salt of aminohippuric acid. Aminohippurate sodium is used as a non-toxic diagnostic
tool to measure effective renal plasma flow. At low plasma concentration this agent
is filtered by the glomeruli and almost completely cleared from the renal blood stream
by active tubular secretion in a single transit through the kidney. Its clearance
corresponds to the renal plasma blood flow. Aminohippurate sodium is also used to
measure functional capacity of the renal tubular secretory mechanism. This is achieved
by elevating the drug plasma concentration to levels sufficient to saturate the maximal
secretion capacity of the tubular cells.;
