Popis: in cirrhotics, patients with cirrhosis on a low-salt diet were studied. The data indicate that these agents given acutely cause increased reabsorption of sodium in the ascending loop of Henle, a segment of the tubule that is relatively impermeable to water, and thus increase the capacity of the kidney of these patients to conserve free water.
