Six novel mutations in the vasopressin V2 receptor gene causing nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

abstract：:Recent studies have shown that the mass transfer coefficients (MTC) for low- and middle-molecular-weight substances are maintained at medium terms in patients under continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) therapy. We have studied the MTC for parathormone (MW 5,500-6,000) in 29 patients under CAPD. 11 patients...
