Abstract
1. Nitrogen balance in uraemic patients on similar nitrogen intakes improves with increasing caloric intake in the range of 36–55 cal/kg body weight. 2. The degree of improvement in nitrogen balance is compatible with increased utilization of endogenous nitrogen probably as a result of increased dietary calories.
