| Popis: | The present study was undertaken to determine the relative influence of the action of the central nervous system on the mechanism of water-immersion-induced diuresis by comparing physiological responses of quadriplegic (QP) and normal subjects. After overnight fasting seven male QP subjects with complete cervical cord transections (C5-C8) and six normal men were tested before, during, and after 3 h of head-out immersion (HOI) in thermoneutral water (34.5-35.0 degrees C). The reversible increase in urine flow and the total urine volume (309 +/- 53 ml in 3 h) in QP subjects were comparable with that of the normal subjects (318 +/- 96 ml in 3 h). While osmolal excretion was increased in QP subjects, its magnitude was less when compared with that of normal subjects. Instead, the increased urine flow in QP subjects was characterized by increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and free water clearance, in contrast to a predominantly osmotic diuresis with no changes in GFR in the normal subjects. The HOI elevated (P less than 0.05) systolic pressure only in QP subjects, whereas the increase in cardiac output was the same in both groups. While plasma renin activity and aldosterone responses to HOI in QP subjects were comparable with those of normal individuals, plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in QP subjects was twofold higher (P less than 0.05) during HOI, and the approximately threefold increase in ANF (P less than 0.05) in QP subjects due to HOI was the same as that of normal subjects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
