Diuresis Peptide

Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide and spontaneous diuresis in sick neonates.

Plasma concentrations of immunoreactive human atrial natriuretic peptide (human ANP) were sequentially determined in 12 infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) during various phases of diuresis to elucidate the role of human ANP in the occurrence of spontaneous diuresis in the newborn. Plasma immunoreactive ANP concentrations during the diuretic as...

Effect of osmotic and mercurial diuresis on simultaneous water diuresis.

A VARIETY of mechanisms have been proposed to explain the dilute urine excreted in water diuresis. Cushny (I) and Smith (2) may be consulted for references to the older literature. Theoretical concepts which have been current in recent years will be considered in more detail in the discussion at the end of this paper. The experiments reported here were devised to test the degree to which water ...

Massive Post-Obstructive Diuresis

BACKGROUND The purpose of presenting this case is to demonstrate the degree to which the kidney is capable of selectively excreting a massive load of sodium and water when challenged with both of these, without altering the plasma levels of other ions. CASE REPORT An 8-year-old boy was admitted in severe renal failure. Workup demonstrated a high grade obstruction of a single kidney. Following d...
