ANP reduction post-dialysis may mark volume removal in chronic renal failure; supports ANP's role in sodium/water balance but leaves open clinical utility.
Does haemodialysis reduce plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide in adult patients with chronic renal failure?
Haemodialysis significantly reduces elevated plasma ANP concentrations in patients with chronic renal failure, supporting ANP's role as a circulating factor released in response to sodium and water accumulation.
Anderson et al. (1986) studied this question.
