title: [Augmentation of the urea retention capacity of the kidney in protein-deficient sheep: role of the kidney pelvis].
abstract: Sheep fed a low-protein diet reduced renal urea excretion. An important fraction of urea perfused into the renal pelvis via the ureter, is reabsorbed through the pelvic epithelium.
