although the salt deprivation was being brought about by sweating, and although salt
deficiency in man is accompanied by anhydroemia, both of these subjects were drinking
enough water to maintain their urine volumes at or above their normal levels. A diminished
urine flow, therefore, was not the cause of the rise of the blood urea. It will be observed that
during the recovery period the blood urea fell below its original level.
