The aim of this study was to determine the plasma levels, cardiac release and splanchnic extraction of atrial natriuretic factor in cirrhosis with ascites. The plasma concentration of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic factor in samples obtained from an antecubital vein was measured in 18 healthy vol

The role of the atrial natriuretic factor and of the main counteracting sodium-retaining principle, the renin-aldosterone system, in acute volume regulation of cirrhosis of the liver has been investigated. Central volume stimulation was achieved in 21 patients with cirrhosis, 11 without and 10 with
## 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
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
The renal response to atrial natriuretic factor is blunted in cirrhosis with ascites. This might be due to alterations of renal receptors for atrial natriuretic factor. Therefore density and affinity of glomerular atrial natriuretic factor binding sites of bile ductligated rats with ascites (n = 10)
To test the hypothesis that diminished sodium delivery to the distal tubular site of atrial natriuretic peptide (A") action accounts for renal ANP resistance in cirrhosis, 12 cirrhotic patients with ascites were studied at baseline and during the infusion of ANP alone (0.15 pg/ kg/min), mannitol alo
