Assessment of renal concentrating ability.

چکیده
Maximum urine osmolality was measured during a 24-hour control period in normal ambulant and working subjects and hospital inpatients and compared with that achieved after intramuscular injection of 4 microgram desamino-cys-1-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP). Most of the normal subjects passed maximally concentrated urine at some time during the control period. The results suggest that in less active subjects or hospital inpatients the DDAVP test is a suitable method of assessing renal concentrating ability.

Assessment of urine-concentrating ability in man: effect of fludrocortisone and urea in enhancing response to vasopressin.
1. Healthy subjects, given a long-acting preparation of vasopressin intramuscularly, excreted a significantly less concentrated urine than when subjected to fluid deprivation for 28 h. 2. When fludrocortisone, a potent mineralocorticoid, was given in addition to vasopressin the urine was not significantly less concentrated than after fluid deprivation. 3. Oral urea-loading also enhanced the uri...
متن کاملChanges in renal concentrating ability produced by parathyroid extract.
Polyuria is a frequent symptom of hyperparathyroidism. Impairment of renal concentrating ability, often out of proportion to other signs of renal insufficiency, has been noted in patients with hyperparathyroidism (1-3) as well as in patients and animals with hypercalcemia due to other causes (4-6). In many patients with hyperparathyroidism, extensive deposits of calcium in the renal parenchyma,...
متن کاملPostnatal adrenalectomy impairs urinary concentrating ability by increased COX-2 and leads to renal medullary injury.
We hypothesized that aldosterone promotes development of the renal medulla in the postnatal period and that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity contributes to renal dysfunction after impaired aldosterone signaling. To test these hypotheses, rat pups underwent either sham operation or adrenalectomy at postnatal day 10. Adrenalectomized rats were divided into no steroid substitution (ADX), corticos...

متن کاملUrinary concentrating ability in early experimental pyelonephritis.
The effect of early bilateral pyelonephritis on urinary concentrating ability was studied in rats injected intravenously with enterococci or Staphylococcus aureus and in rats inoculated with Escherichia coli into the medullae of both kidneys. The mean maximum urinary osmolality of normal rats was 2352 mOsm/kg of water. Inoculation of E. coli caused reversible pyelonephritis with sterilization o...
