Plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide, a recently identified cardiac hormone with natriuretic activity, were measured in 11 healthy subjects, 13 cirrhotic patients without ascites, 18 nonazotemic cirrhotic patients with ascites and 6 patients with cirrhosis, ascites and functional kidney failur

## Abstract Many patients with mixed cryoglobulinemia and chronic HCV infection experience symptoms, such as dyspnea, which sometimes do not seem to indicate the involvement of the liver but rather the symptoms of heart failure. To our knowledge, there has been no other study evaluating the serum l
Measurements of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations at 8 AM showed raised levels in 21 patients with cirrhosis and ascites (10.5 f 0.8 pmoUL) compared with levels in 10 age-matched controls (4.1 f 0.64 pmouL; p c 0.0001). In eight patients and 10 controls, atrial natriuretic peptide, pl
## Background: Tumors and tumor cell lines from two patients with small cell lung carcinoma (sclc) (one with and one without hyponatremia) were studied. ectopic production and prohormone processing of atrial natriuretic peptide (anp) were investigated to determine if a biologically active peptide w
