1. Total-body neutron-activation analysis in vivo was carried out in 11 hypertensive subjects to measure simultaneously the total body content of sodium, chlorine, calcium, phosphorus and nitrogen. 2. There was a highly significant correlation between total body sodium measured by activation analysis and total exchangeable sodium measured by a standard isotope-dilution technique (r = 0.92, P less than 0.001). Exchangeable sodium averaged 80.3% of total body sodium. 3. The measured values of chlorine, calcium, phosphorus and nitrogen were similar to those for healthy subjects reported by others. 4. Activation analysis in vivo appears promising as an additional tool for investigating sodium metabolism in hypertension, as it is the only method available for determining the total body content of this element. The radiation dose (1 rem) is sufficiently low to permit repeated measurements in the same subject.
