In twelve patients with acute renal failure, mean plasma levels of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and of its second messenger cGMP were found elevated at the early phase of the disease, but tended to return towards normal values at recovery. Variations of plasma ANF and cGMP were correlated significantly (p less than 0.05) with those of total blood volume. At the early phase of the disease, plasma ANF was also correlated with the excreted fraction of filtered sodium (FENa) (r = 0.95). Moreover, plasma ANF and FENa peaked concomitantly at the onset of the diuretic phase in the five patients who were not treated by diuretics or dialysis and were studied sequentially during the course of the disease. It is suggested that enhanced plasma ANF levels might reflect one of the mechanisms of adaptation controlling body fluid balance in acute renal failure.
