An Inhibitor of Sodium Transport in the Urine of Dogs and Humans with Normal Renal Function - a Study of Chronically Expanded Subjects
Abstract
In recent years, efforts have been made in many laboratories to identify a natriuretic hormone. To date, however, this hormone has eluded definitive characterization. The present studies consist of two parts.
First, during my stay at Albert Einstein College of Medicine (New York) experiments were undertaken with Drs. Bourgoignie and Bricker to determine if the same natriuretic factor as the one previously described by these two authors in the urine of uremic humans and dogs can be demonstrated in the urine of normal dogs.
Secondly, in Geneva, studies of humans with normal renal function have been carried out to confirm the results obtained in dogs.
