Effect of experimental chronic renal failure upon the production of urea, as measured by the liver arginase activity in rats.
A significant diminution in liver arginase activity of chronic renal failure uremic rats is described, thus implying that the experimental finding of an increased urea production is not due to a depressed arginase activity.
