## LAURENCE M. BLENDIS' Cirrhotic patients with ascites refractory to diuretics also have blunted response to marked elevations of plasma atrial natriuretic factor levels alone or to moderate intravascular volume expansion by head-out water immersion. However, these patients usually undergo natriu
Controversial results come from spot measurements of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in compensated cirrhotic patients. Moreover, either blunted or exaggerated natriuresis has been described after maneuvers increasing plasma ANP. This does not make it possible to delineate the ANP effectiven
