Popis: Changes in blood plasma content of hormones which are observed in the different periods of hemorrhagic fever and the attendant renal syndrome are directed to the maintenance of significantly deranged water-electrolyte homeostasis. Adequate secretion of vasopressin and aldosterone in response to the changes in sodium concentration and plasma osmolality point to the absence of significant functional disorders of the corresponding glands. Pronounced hypernatremia in fatal cases is evidence of the deranged processes of osmoregulation associated primarily with kidney areactivity to vasopressin and prognostically is an unfavourable sign. The presence of pituitary necrosis in deceased subjects does not rule out the role of vasopressin deficiency in the pathogenesis of pronounced hypernatremia.
