In six patients with nephrotic syndrome of various aetiology, the increase in absolute and fractional sodium excretion (FENa) after a bolus injection of 100 micrograms alpha-human atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was not different from the effect in normal healthy subjects at comparable sodium levels. Glomerular filtration rate rose in normals as well as in patients. In two patients, however, baseline sodium excretion was very low and the natriuretic response to ANP was proportionally blunted. The high baseline sodium reabsorption and blunted response to ANP may be explained as due either to an intrinsic renal defect or to a circulatory hypovolaemia. The finding of a low plasma ANP in these two patients, however, suggests involvement of a hypovolaemic component.

D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.

D012084 Renin-Angiotensin System A BLOOD PRESSURE regulating system of interacting components that include RENIN; ANGIOTENSINOGEN; ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME; ANGIOTENSIN I; ANGIOTENSIN II; and angiotensinase. Renin, an enzyme produced in the kidney, acts on angiotensinogen, an alpha-2 globulin produced by the liver, forming ANGIOTENSIN I. Angiotensin-converting enzyme, contained in the lung, acts on angiotensin I in the plasma converting it to ANGIOTENSIN II, an extremely powerful vasoconstrictor. Angiotensin II causes contraction of the arteriolar and renal VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE, leading to retention of salt and water in the KIDNEY and increased arterial blood pressure. In addition, angiotensin II stimulates the release of ALDOSTERONE from the ADRENAL CORTEX, which in turn also increases salt and water retention in the kidney. Angiotensin-converting enzyme also breaks down BRADYKININ, a powerful vasodilator and component of the KALLIKREIN-KININ SYSTEM.
