The function of the thyroid gland has been studied in the experimental nephrotic syndrome. Significant urinary losses of hormonal iodine were found and were dependent on the degree of proteinuria. An increased release of thyroidal hormone appeared to compensate for the urinary losses of hormone. Thyroid function was judged adequate since peripheral utilization of hormone and the rate of oxygen consumption were unaltered in the nephrotic state.
