..., the increase in intra- ureteral pressure in the upright and supine posi- tions and the effect of the so-called arteriovenous shunt through the newly formed uterine vessels [45] might all be expected to influence the final sodium reabsorption. Added to these are the effects of posture. Although the upright...

...), but did not correlate with the change in sodium excretion. 4. The exaggerated natriuresis was accompanied by a significant rise in the absolute rate of sodium reabsorption in the distal segments, but distal fractional reabsorption decreased. 5. It is concluded that the exaggerated natriuresis can...

... are unaffected by unilateral nephrectomy and suggest that, in the remaining kidney, atrate reabsorption along the entire nephron increases in proportion to the increment in glomerular filtration. Key words : concentration, dilution, kidney function, sodium reabsorption, uninephrectomy. Correspondence: Dr Adrian...

...) concentration rose progressively with the increasing concentration of the saline solution infused. 2. The greater fractional sodium excretion (FE Na ) after acute isotonic and hypertonic volume expansion is probably the result of inhibition of sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct, although inhibition...
