Abstract
In a recent editorial entitled “Natriuretic hormones: At last bottled in bond?”, Grantham and Edwards [1] imply that the long and frustrating search for the elusive natriuretic hormone has finally come to an end. In point of fact, although the chemical structures of the recently identified atrial natriuretic factors have been elucidated [2], little is yet known of their physiological significance. Conversely, the chemical structure of the “other” natriuretic hormone, which I shall term the hypothalamic-renal factor, has thus far eluded successful identification, but much information has been gathered on its physiological role in health and disease. Other hormone systems known to enhance salt excretion include the prostaglandins, particularly prostacyclin and prostaglandin E2, the renal kallikrein-kinin system and dopamine In this review, I shall attempt to place in perspective the relative contributions of each of these systems to renal sodium handling, and, as far as possible, comment on their interactions.
