A Densimetric Method for Assay of Small Amounts of Antidiuretic Hormone
نویسنده
چکیده
A sensitive and reproducible method for assay of antidiuretic activity, described in this paper, yielded accurate measurements in the range 60 to 540 micropressor units of pitressin, corresponding to about 15 to 130 micropressor units of arginine-vasopressin. The method differs from previous techniques mainly in using urine density, rather than urinary flow rates, as the index of response.

Tumors from patients with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) have been found to contain large amounts of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin. A lung tumor from a patient with hyponatremia most likely due to SIADH was removed at surgery and found to contain 23.5 mU vasopressin/g wet weight by radioimmunoassay Slices of this tumor were incubated with phenylal...
