[Variations of atrial natriuretic peptide in hemodialysis].

Abstract
In this study the variations of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in hemodialyzed patients were correlated to blood volume and atrial cavities diameter. At the end of the dialytic process we observed a significant reduction of ANF plasma levels and body weight. This data established the crucial role of blood volume in the regulation of ANF secretion-suppression. In addition the fluctuations recorded in the heart atrial diameters reveal their sensitivity to blood volume variations induced by hemodialysis.
