Automatic control of the volume of the body fluids, involving adjustment of the renal excretion of electrolytes and water, has been the subject of much recent study. Accumulating evidence suggests that a variety of functions of the extracellular fluid volume are significant determinants of the renal excretion of sodium (2). Some investigators have emphasized the role of "effective" blood volume (or a related parameter) as such a function (3-6), but the precise stimuli involved and the mode of their transmission to the kidney remain incompletely understood. |
