Tumour and surgery effects on cognitive functioning in high-grade glioma patients.

abstract：PURPOSE:Serum atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) that is elevated after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) causes diuresis and natriuresis (cerebral salt wasting) and might exacerbate delayed ischemic neurological deficit (DIND). We investigated relationships among hyponatremia, serum ANP elevation, and the onset o...
