Título Certain effects of flight in supersonic aircraft on the renal function of air crews
Título original Certains effets du vol sur avions supersoniques sur la fonction rénale des aviateurs. [en francés]
Información bibliográfica 4th quarter 1974, Vol.13, No.52, p.257-262. Illus.
Resumen An increase in the incidence of renal calculus in air crews led the authors to study the following urinary physico-chemical values in a group of airline pilots subjected to a 6-h supersonic flight: urinary output per minute, density, pH, dry residue, electrolytes, uric acid, creatinine, urea and calcium oxalate crystals in the urinary sediment. In spite of increased urinary output (2.5 to 3 times more than normal) during the flight, the results, given in diagrammatic form (higher concentration of certain electrolytes and greater amount of urinary dry residue) show a urinary concentration which requires the adoption of preventive measures to counteract certain adverse effects on the kidneys.
