There are probably several pigments, among which occur urcbUin, derived probably from bile pigment; urochrome, becoming red on oxidation; and indican, which may be oxidized to indigo. This XMMtlon of human urine is acid, owini; to acid salts, espe- cially acid sodium phosphate (NaH,P04). There is usually but a trifling qvantity, if any, of free acid in the urine when secreted. The acidity diminishes after meals, and the urine may be neutral or alkaline when the food is wholly vegetable, or unduly acid when the diet is entirely fleshy. Qniatlty.—Usually about 1,500 or from 50 to 52 ounces (two pints) in twenty-four hours. This is, of course, like the specific gravity, highly variable, and frequently they run par- allel with each other.
