Variation of urate excretion with urine flow in normal man.
In normal persons, a decrease in urine flow following the injection of small amounts of vasopressin was accompanied by a significant decrease in the clearance and excretion of urate. When vasopressin and a small natriuretic dose of mannitol were administered together, urine flow and urate excretion again decreased. The recovery of urine flow to control values was accompanied by a similar recovery of urate excretion. Because a natriuretic dose of mannitol did not reverse the antiuricosuric effect of the flow decline, it is postulated that the flow effect probably reflects changes in a component of urate efflux distal to the loop of Henle.
