Abstract:
:To study the effects of volume overload and renal failure on plasma levels of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic hormone (IR-ANH), we measured levels of this hormone in normal subjects, in patients with advanced chronic renal failure (CRF) with and without clinically evident volume overload, and in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated with chronic hemodialysis. The levels were 13 +/- 2 pmol/l in normal volunteers, 77 +/- 24 pmol/l in patients with CRF without volume overload, and 219 +/- 50 pmol/l in patients with CRF and clinically evident volume overload (analysis of variance, p less than 0.001, alpha = 0.05 compared to normals). In patients with ESRD, the levels of IR-ANH were 145 +/- 46 pmol/l before dialysis and decreased to 87 +/- 31 after dialysis (p less than 0.025). No correlation was found between the decrease in IR-ANH levels and the decrease in weight during dialysis. A significant positive correlation was found between the IR-ANH levels and blood urea nitrogen in patients with CRF (r = 0.658, p less than 0.01). Volume overload appears to be the most important stimulatory factor for ANH secretion in renal failure patients but other mechanisms, especially a decrease in metabolic clearance, may also contribute to elevated plasma levels. The increased secretion of ANH in patients with renal failure may be an important adaptive response to volume overload and hypertension.
