[New data on the adrenal-post-pituitary system of cancer patients].
A water loading test was performed in 10 patients with a cancer of the digestive tract without hyponatremia and in 10 controls. A lowering of the CfH2O was observed in the patients during the test, as well as an increase in the cortisol plasmatic rates, while aldosterone rates remained normal. To valid the hypothesis of a hypervasopressinic state in these patients, 15 cancerous patients and 12 controls had a plasmatic ADH dosage, which pointed indicated higher hormonal level in the first group.
