Characterization of the natriuresis caused in normal man by immersion in water.

چکیده
I . The effects of 4-6 h of water immersion on the renal excretion of water and electrolytes were studied in thirteen normal male subjects in balance on a constant diet containing 150 mEq of Na and 100 mEq of K per day. Each subject was studied during a control period, consisting of quiet sitting, and during water immersion to the neck. 2. Immersion resulted in a natriuresis beginning within the first hour, with the rate of sodium excretion eventually exceeding that of the control period by 34 fo ld ; potassium excretion also increased. Despite a progressively negative water balance during the immersion studies, urine flow was greater during the first 4 h and free water clearance was greater during the first 2 h of immersion than during the control study. 3. The demonstration of a highly significant increase in fractional excretion of sodium during immersion suggests that the natriuresis of water immersion is not attributable to changes in filtered sodium load. 4. The prompt onset of the natriuresis, the concomitant kaliuresis and the fact that aldosterone secretion under the conditions of study was probably already suppressed make it unlikely that the natriuresis of water immersion is mediated solely by decreases in aldosterone activity. 5 . The data suggest that the natriuresis caused by water immersion is the result of decreased fractional reabsorption of sodium proximal to the renal diluting site. The mechanism whereby increased proximal tubular sodium rejection occurs in relation to immersion remains unclear.

The role of aldosterone suppression in mediating the natriuresis of water immersion was assessed in six normal male subjects. All subjects were studied on four occasions while they were in balance on a diet containing 150 mEq of sodium and 100 mEq of potassium daily: during a control period, following deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) treatment for 24 hours (Cont+ DOCA), during water immersion...

Previous studies from this laboratory have demonstrated that the central hypervolemia induced by water immersion to the neck (NI) constitutes a suitable model for assessing the hormonal response to volume expansion without concomitant alterations in plasma composition. The NI model was used to assess in a kinetic fashion the relationship between renal prostaglandin E (PGE) and renal sodium hand...

متن کاملSpectrum of deranged sodium homeostasis in essential hypertension.
Essential hypertension is thought to produce a uniform exaggerated natriuresis and diuresis. Because validation of this formulation in humans is incomplete, the natriuretic and diuretic responses to acute volume expansion were characterized by using water immersion to the neck. This method provides a volume stimulus identical to that induced by 2 L of saline without plasma compositional change....
