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
