title: Regulation of plasma arginine vasopressin in patients with chronic renal failure maintained on hemodialysis.
abstract: Plasma arginine vasopressin (PAVP) was studied in patients before and after hemodialysis. The levels of PAVP were higher before and reverted to normal range after dialysis (5.7 vs. 2.7 pg/ml). Sequential chemical dialysis showed that vasopressin was removed during the chemical dialysis phase. Data obtained during a simulation experiment were also consistent with the view that vasopressin was removed during the chemical dialysis phase.
