Water immersion is associated with an increase in aquaporin-2 excretion in healthy volunteers.
Here, we report the alterations in renal water handling in healthy volunteers during a 6 h thermoneutral water immersion at 34 to 36 degrees C. We found that water immersion is associated with a reversible increase in total urinary AQP2 excretion.
