Renal response to atrial natriuretic peptide in nonedematous sodium-retaining dogs.
ANP administered to cirrhotic dogs or chronic caval dogs with ascites and urinary sodium retention (USR) usually causes heterogeneity of natriuretic response. To assess whether this same phenomenon would occur in the absence of edema, ANP at 100 ng/kg/min was given to dogs before and after the induction of USR by a variety of techniques. Eight dogs were over-diuresed with furosemide over a 2-day period, and 9 dogs were subjected to subacute hemorrhage over a similar period. These dogs were retested with ANP one day later. All 8 dogs given furosemide showed no response to ANP (delta UNa V = 7.4 +/- 4.8 microEq/min), compared to a normal response prior to the diuretic (delta UNa V = 128 +/- 34 microEq/min). The 9 hemorrhaged dogs also responded normally to ANP prior to this manipulation (delta UNa V = 74 +/- 14 microEq/min), but a blunted response post-hemorrhage (delta UNa V = 35 +/- 13 microEq/min). This profile was made up of 5 dogs who responded to ANP (delta UNaV = 62 microEq/min) and 4 who had no response whatsoever (delta UNa V = 3 microEq/min). When 8 dogs were given USR because of continuous mineralocorticoid administration, none responded, but all had a magnified natriuretic response to ANP during the 'escape' phase. Eight dogs were administered minoxidil (10 mg) by mouth daily to induce USR. All 8 dogs responded to ANP (delta UNa V = 93 +/- 6 microEq/min) which was no different from the pretreatment response (delta UNa V = 65 +/- 3 microEq/min).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
