These conflicting data raised a controversy as to the safety of current prescribing and fo...

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and aldosterone were the first two controllers of renal sodium excretion to be recognized. A “third factor” was discovered when de Wardener and colleagues showed that volume expansion natriuresis still occurred in dogs given s...
