SUMMARY Urinary surface tension estimations have been performed on normal urines. These show that a single determination of surface tension is valueless and that surface tension is intimately linked with the specific gravity of urine. The effect of subcutaneous injections of hyaluronidase is described; this has no apparent effect on the urinary surface tension.
