Prior studies in animals have indicated that the lymphatic system returns extravascular protein to the blood stream (1-8). Lewis injected horse serum subcutaneously into dogs and found that it appeared in the thoracic duct lymph before it was detected in the blood (4). Similar observations were made by Field and Drinker (5). Conklin, after injecting foreign proteins into the circulating blood of the frog, observed that they passed through the skin capillaries into the lymphatics (6). More recently Courtice, Simmonds and Steinbeck have shown that homologous serum protein labeled with Evans blue is absorbed by the lymphatics when introduced into the pleural or peritoneal cavities (7, 8). In man, lymphatic function has been studied mainly by outlining the lymphatics visually with vital dyes injected into the tissues (9-11). The interpretation of these studies has been based primarily on the local distribution of the dyes in the tissues. The removal of particles and colloids by the lymphatics also has been studied (12-14). However, the results of these experiments have been influenced by the local reaction of the tissue to the injected foreign substance. The present study was undertaken to determine whether the rate of disappearance of human serum albumin injected into the subcutaneous tissues might give some estimate of lymphatic function in man (15).
