The clinical physiology of water metabolism. Part II: Renal mechanisms for urinary concentration; diabetes insipidus.
The renal reabsorption of water independent of solute is the result of the coordinated function of the collecting duct and the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. The unique juxtaposition of the ascending and [...]

Abnormalities of water metabolism in the elderly.
Hypernatremia is a frequent problem at the extremes of age, but particularly so in elderly individuals. Changes in the physiological responses to water deprivation with increasing age may be of particular interest in understanding the [...]
The clinical physiology of water metabolism. Part I: The physiologic regulation of arginine vasopressin secretion and thirst.
Water balance is tightly regulated within a tolerance of less than 1 percent by a physiologic control system located in the hypothalamus. Body water homeostasis is achieved by balancing renal and nonrenal water losses with [...]
