Mild dehydration, vasopressin and the kidney: animal and human studies

Abstract: Water balance depends essentially on fluid intake and urine excretion. Mild dehydration and the consequent hypertonicity of the extracellular fluid induce an increase in vasopressin secretion, thus stimulating urine concentrating processes and the feeling of thirst. The osmotic threshold for the release of vasopressin is lower than that for thirst and also shows appreciable individual variation. Sustained high levels of vasopressin and low hydration induce morphological and functional changes in the kidney. Ho… Show more

“…However others experiments have shown that the threshold for both thirst and ADH secretion are near the same [25]. These differences can be explained by inter-individual genetic variability among people [26]. In instances where ADH secretion is maximal and fluid intake does not suffice to maintain plasma osmolality, physiological thirst kicks in at the higher levels of plasma osmolality.…”

“…A potent renal vasopressin receptor agonist, dDAVP, markedly reduced both urine flow and sodium excretion in healthy humans [51]. The impact of antinatriuresis by chronic high vasopressin levels in mild dehydration on the pathophysiology of hypertension, however, needs to be delineated.…”

“…The authors concluded that it was safe for most Muslim renal patients to undertake the Ramadan fast 1 year after kidney transplantation. However, given the deteriorating effect of chronic hypohydration on renal function in animals with impaired renal function (Bouby & Fernandes, 2003), the number of transplanted patients with impaired but stable renal function is probably too small to draw definite conclusions.…”
