Plasma concentration of atrial natriuretic factor in idiopathic oedema.
Low level of plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) under altered dietary sodium and its elevation during bigeminy were found in a 40-year-old woman with idiopathic oedema. The natriuretic effect of this peptide and the role of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in oedema formation in this disorder are discussed.
