[Pathophysiologic-nephrologic hypothesis of the protective function of an endogenous natriuretic and digoxin-like substance (endoxin) for residual nephrons].
A dualistic function for the natriuretic ATP.inhibiting factor is formulated on the basis of a phenomenon like compensatory renal adaption of residual nephrons: 1. Support of the tubular sodium excretion to the maintenance of homoeostasis of the organism. 2. Inhibition of the forced up vasodilation of the afferent glomerular vessel. It should suggested that the renal vasoconstrictive effect is a part of a protective system for residual nephrons against the pathogenic hyperfiltration and hyperperfusion.
