title: The activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system and vasopressin secretion in patients with acute non-inflammatory renal failure.
abstract: In 12 patients with acute non-inflammatory renal failure (ANRF) and in 21 healthy persons the relationship was studied between the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system and vasopressin secretion. The study was carried out during the so called bed rest test and during water immersion (WI) after captopril-induced blockade of the angiotensin-converting enzyme. The results of these experiments suggest the absence of a close functional relationship between the activity of the RAA system and vasopressin secretion in patients with ANRF and in healthy controls.
