..., extracorporeal bicarbonate haemodialysis (Na + D =138 mmol/l). Body fluid distribution and the release of vasoactive hormones (plasma renin activity, aldosterone, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and atrial natriuretic peptide) were investigated. Haemodialysis with constant ultrafiltration rate and constant...

... In this study we investigated the interactions between volume changes (body weight), plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (pANP) and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) in 10 patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing regular hemodialysis (HD) treatment three times weekly. Most patients retained...

...Bente Jespersen; Hans Eiskjœr; Carl E. Mogensen; Søren S. Sørensen; Erling Bjerregaard Pedersen To evaluate therapeutic and side effects, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was administered as a pharmacological bolus dose (2 µg/kg body weight) to 7 patients with nephrotic syndrome and to 13 age...

... natriuretic peptide corrected neither elevated blood pressure nor the reduced glomerular filtration rate in rats exposed to cadmium. However, the tubular response to atrial natriuretic peptide remained unaltered. These data suggest that a lack of vascular response to atrial natriuretic peptide is one...

...P. Heering; D. Wyes; J. Plum; B. Grabensee We studied the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) after amino acid loading in order to elucidate whether or not glomerular hyperfiltration is mediated by these hormones. Eight healthy controls without kidney disease (grop 1...

Four nonnatriuretic patients further received 25 g albumin infusion, with a subsequent 2-hour water immersion study. The results are as follows: (1) In the nonnatriuretic patients, the extremely low...

During tachycardia, natriuresis due to atrial natriuretic peptide secretion seems to be hampered by hypotension, but polyuria is preserved despite the fall...

...Jun Shiota; Minoru Kubota; Chieko Hamada; Hikaru Koide Plasma immunoreactive human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP) levels were measured in 9 patients with chronic renal failure treated with maintenance hemodialysis in order to evaluate the effects of fluid removal and osmotic pressure.
