[Use of urea diffusion space for the in vivo prediction of body water in milk-fed kids].
Urea dilution space (EU) calculated by a 2 open compartment model was found to be much larger than empty (EBW) or total body water (TBW) in milk-fed kids. Estimate of EBW with EU was less accurate than with body weight (RSD = 666 vs 197 g). When body weight was used as an additional covariate with EU, prediction of EBW was slightly improved (RSD = 180 g).
