Assessment of hormonal disorders of water metabolism.
Clinical disorders of water regulation are relatively common and occur with severity ranging from profound and easily recognizable disturbance of body water balance to mild and often clinically inapparent. The development of sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay procedures capable of quantitating the level of AVP in plasma and urine has allowed elucidation of the pathophysiology of [...]

Water distribution in the foetus and newborn infant.
A short survey is given over changes in water metabolism from early foetal life to infancy. The close connection between water metabolism and body composition is described as well as the changes taking place after birth. The impact of intrauterine malnutrition, delivery and postnatal nutrition is discussed. PMID: 6351536 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE
EFFECT OF VARIOUS STATES OF HYDRATION ON PLASMA ADH AND RENIN IN MAN
To investigate the interaction between antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and renin-angiotensin system, plasma ADH and plasma renin activity (PRA) were determined in normal subjects (n = 10) under various hydrated states. Four experimental conditions, i.e., water loading, infusion of hypertonic saline, acute dehydration induced by furosemide and postural changes, were chosen. 1. Upright posture decreased plasma [...]
Water–the major nutrient
Water metabolism is a major problem in infants of very low birth weight. Their surface is proportionally larger, they have a relatively low intracellular water volume and a high extracellular and total body volume. Kidney function is immature compared to bigger infants, and the neuroendocrine function is also immature. Finally the large surface and the [...]
MILD DEHYDRATION INDUCES ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC SIGNS OF MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE IN HEALTHY FEMALES WITH PRIOR NORMAL CARDIAC FINDINGS
This study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that mitral valve prolapse (MVP) can be induced after diuresis in women without the abnormality who have characteristic body habitus. Fifteen tall, slim, healthy female volunteers with a normal cardiac findings, echocardiogram, and history were investigated after mild diuresis with furosemide and after placebo. All subjects lost [...]
Body water metabolism in early infancy.
A short survey is given over water metabolism from early fetal life to infancy. The close connection between water metabolism and body composition is described as well as the changes taking place during growth. The impact of intrauterine malnutrition, delivery and postnatal nutrition is discussed, and it is pointed out how the premature infant differs [...]
