Mild autonomic neuropathy does not appear to affect ANF postural response in diabetic hypertension; leaves open effects of neuropathy severity.
Does mild autonomic neuropathy affect atrial natriuretic factor regulation in response to postural changes in diabetic hypertensive patients?
Mild autonomic neuropathy does not significantly alter the regulation of atrial natriuretic factor in response to postural changes in diabetic hypertensive patients.
Mattia et al. (1991) studied this question.
