Implication
May promote negative fluid balance after SAH; leaves open CNP's role in vasospasm.

Outcome
Plasma levels of ANP, BNP, CNP, and ET over 6 consecutive dayssurrogate
Plasma ANP and BNP increase after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and often result in a negative fluid balance, independent of plasma endothelin levels.
