Abstract
The solute excretion of 15 subjects in a state of hydropenia was detd. and the thermodynam-ically necessary work to produce the urine was calculated. Urea accounted for 75% and K for 15% of the osmotic work. The total work value averaged 0.63 cal/min./1.73 m2 body surface. It is concluded that the kidney under conditions oi minimal flow and maximal osmolarity of urine is in a relatively "resting" state.Keywords
