Importance of circulating and urinary tissue kallikrein in the control of acute natriuresis and diuresis evoked by water immersion in man.
In ten human subjects water immersion produced a two-fold diuresis and a three-fold increase in sodium secretion together with a marked fall in plasma renin activity and aldosterone. In contrast, circulating and urinary (active and total kallikrein) remained unchanged throughout the immersion period. Our results indicate that the acute diuresis and natriuresis evoked by water immersion in man is not regulated by circulating or urinary tissue kallikrein.
