ANP changes with exercise and dialysis in renal failure may inform pathophysiology; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
How do exercise, haemodialysis, and various cardiovascular/renal conditions affect plasma ANP concentrations?
Plasma ANP concentrations are elevated in heart and renal failure, increase further with exercise, and decrease following haemodialysis.
Morris et al. (1987) studied this question.
