Abstract
Accurate and continuous monitoring of clearance function is obtained by determining the depletion of a labelled substance from the extracellular body fluid using an external monitor which detects from within the defined tissue volume. The detector of the external monitor is contained within a barrier which functions to both exclude external influences and to functionally isolate the volume of extracellular fluid to be monitored.
