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
Relatively few data exist on atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) characteristics in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Therefore, plasma immunoreactive ANP concentrations were measured before and for 4 h following the ingestion of a physiological mixed meal in 8 newly diagnosed, normotensive, normoalbuminu

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
