[Evaluation of hydric compartments in 83 normal subjects (author's transl)]

A study of plasmatic volume, extra-cellular liquids and total body water was performed on 83 healthy subjects. This study was realised by dilution of three isotopic tracers. The results are expressed as a function of lean body mass determined by anthropometric method (skin folds). The results obtained for three water compartments studied are given and compared with valours found in literature.
