Extract

The influence of the endocrines on the excretion of creatine and on the urinary creatinine level has become increasingly recognized of recent years. It has, of course, long been known that hyperthyroidism is accompanied by creatine excretion. A recent investigation by Sohval, King and Reiner (1938) found that the creatine tolerance test was positive in 90% of patients with active Graves' disease, but only in 10-18% of controls. Shelton and Tager (1937) showed that four out of five slightly hypothyroid children had an increased creatine tolerance.
