Popis: Quantative data on plasma levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in renal failure are limited. We measured predialysis plasma ADH levels using a double antibody radioimmunoassay in 14 patients with end-stage renal failure. Plasma ADH was inappropriately elevated in the majority of tested patients despite normal plasma osmolality, moderately elevated blood pressure, and hypervolemia. The etiology of increased plasma ADH in our population is unclear.
