the plasma-ascites filtration rate ( pfr ) of intravenously injected iodine 125-labeled albumin ( the rate of ascites formation by the liver ) after volume expansion with normal saline solution in seven patients was similar to that observed in 14 patients who had not received infusions ( 0.010 +/- 0.003 vs. 0.013 +/- 0.006 l/hr/m2 ) and was unrelated to natriuresis both before and after intravenous administration of 80 mg furosemide the previous day ( r = 0.04 and -0.36 ) .
