Individuality of the plasma sodium concentration.
Older literature has suggested that the plasma sodium concentration is not individual, that it is neither intrinsic to an individual nor reproducible, longitudinally. We recently observed that the plasma sodium concentration is heritable. Because demonstrable heritability requires individuality of the relevant phenotype, we hypothesized that the plasma sodium concentration was substantially ind...
متن کاملPlasma sodium concentration: bearer of false prophecies?
Occasionally measurement of the serumn or plasma concentration of sodium may give rise to falsely low results when carried out on a flame photometer or by an indirect reading ion selective electrode. The patients at risk are those with abnormally high serum concentrations of lipid or protein. These are, however, few: initially all low sodium concentrations as measured by flame photometry should...
متن کاملThe effect of the duration of orthognathic surgery on plasma concentration of Interleukin 6
Background: The cytokines have a major role in the inflammatory response to surgery and trauma. They have local effects of mediating and maintaining the inflammatory response to tissue injury, and also initiate some of the systemic changes which occur. IL-6 is one of the above mentioned cytokines, but it is not clear whether the duration of trauma or surgery has some effect on IL-6 level, so th...
متن کاملEffect of variations of plasma sodium concentration on the adrenal response to angiotensin II.
• The aldosterone-stimulating action of systemic infusion of angiotensin 11 in a number of species has been reported." Further, it has been demonstrated that an angiotensin n infusion into the adrenal arterial blood supply promotes aldosterone secretion."" In 1959, Denton et al. demonstrated that a decrease of sodium and increase of potassium in the adrenal arterial blood of a sodium-replete sh...
متن کاملInfluence of Antihypertensive Therapy, Sodium Intake and the Concentration of Potassium in Plasma on Concentration of Aldosterone and Plasma Renin Activity
Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a group of disorders which are characterized by inadequate and non-suppressible production of aldosterone. The prevalence of PA is increasing in hypertensive population. The golden standard of screening for primary aldosteronism, determination of aldosterone/plasma renin activity (ARR), is infl uenced by numerous exogenous and endogenous factors. Test...
