Plasma concentration and urinary excretion of arginine vasopressin (AVP) were measured in 20 children and adolescents with normal or moderately impaired renal function. Plasma AVP was higher in children with an inulin clearance less than 60 ml/min X 1.73 m2, whereas plasma osmolality did not differ in all children. Urinary excretion and urinary clearance of AVP (UCAVP) decreased in relation to impairment of renal function, and a strong negative correlation was found between plasma AVP and log UCAVP. Reduced urinary excretion of AVP may contribute to elevated plasma AVP in children with impaired renal function.

It is considered to be equivalent to INULIN clearance. Filtration Rate, Glomerular,Filtration Rates, Glomerular,Glomerular Filtration Rates,Rate, Glomerular Filtration,Rates, Glomerular Filtration
D005921 Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the renal glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) that can be classified by the type of glomerular injuries including antibody deposition, complement activation, cellular proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis. These structural and functional abnormalities usually lead to HEMATURIA; PROTEINURIA; HYPERTENSION; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Bright Disease,Kidney Scarring,Glomerulonephritides,Scarring, Kidney
D005923 Glomerulosclerosis, Focal Segmental A clinicopathological syndrome or diagnostic term for a type of glomerular injury that has multiple causes, primary or secondary. Clinical features include PROTEINURIA, reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE, and EDEMA. Kidney biopsy initially indicates focal segmental glomerular consolidation (hyalinosis) or scarring which can progress to globally sclerotic glomeruli leading to eventual KIDNEY FAILURE.
