Frerichs's theory
Associated persons:
Friedrich Theodor von Frerichs
Description:
Frerichs' famous theory of uraemic intoxication states that uraemia represents a toxic condition caused by ammonium carbonate, which is formed as the result of the action of a plasma enzyme on the increased amount of urea. Frerichs introduced the experiment as a fully valid proof in clinical medicine.
