Effect of posture on renal lithium clearance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Renal lithium clearance in healthy men was elevated while the subject was reclining, decreased upon standing and increased upon lying down during 45-60 min tests. 2. Parallel changes in renal clearance of creatinine, sodium and potassium, and urine flow rate occurred in response to the changes in posture. 3. The findings demonstrate for the first time that posture is a factor that can influence lithium excretion. Control of posture during lithium excretion tests is recommended.

Effect of dietary sodium chloride and posture on plasma immunoreactive atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations in man.
The effect of changes of dietary sodium chloride intake and posture on plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentration and renal function was studied in 11 normal human volunteers. Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentration was higher in the upright posture on a high than it was on a medium or low salt diet. On the medium and high but not on the low salt diet the concentration increased si...
متن کاملRenal tubular events following passage from the supine to the standing position in patients with compensated liver cirrhosis: loss of tubuloglomerular feedback.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with preascitic liver cirrhosis display significant renal sodium retention in the upright posture and an exaggerated natriuresis during recumbency. To date, intrarenal sodium handling in these patients has not been studied using lithium clearance and fractional excretion techniques during recumbency and orthostatism. METHODS Ten patients with preascitic (Child-Pug...
متن کاملEffect of prolonged thiazide treatment on renal lithium clearance.
Renal lithium clearances were determined after the administration of a small test dose of lithium carbonate in 22 patients when they were on long-term treatment with thiazides and when they were not on such treatment. Thiazide administration led to a 24% reduction in the lithium clearance. Diuretic drugs should be used with caution in patients given lithium treatment, and lithium should be used...
متن کاملEffect of Lithium Carbonate on Renal and Extra-renal Functions of Rats
Effect of high doses of lithium carbonate (40 rag/Kg.i.p. and p.o.) and lithium chloride (40 mg/Kg.i.p.) on renal and extra-renal functions were studied in normal male Charles Foster Strain of rats. Insignificant effect on urine output, creatinine clerance, sodium, potassium and lithium excretion was observed with these salts. Antidiuretic hormone levels were also not effected. However lithium ...
متن کاملEffect of Endothelin-A Receptor Blockade on the Early Phase of Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Acute Renal Failure in Anesthetized Rats
Background: Previous studies have shown increases in endothelin (ET) concentration of plasma and renal tissues in acute renal failure (ARF). ET has a potent vasoconstrictor effect, through binding with its ETA receptors, and may play some roles in renal hemodynamic dysfunction in ARF.Objective: To examine the beneficial effect of a selective ETA-receptor antagonist on renal dysfunction and tis...
