The Bioassay of Adrenal Corticoids in the Urine of Patients With Congestive Heart Failure

The Relationship of Cardiovascular and Renal Hemodynamic Function to Sodium Excretion in Patients With Severe Heart Disease but Without Edema 12

“…However, on increasing the sodium intake, these patients have developed salt retention and peripheral edema. The studies of Relman and Schwartz (8) may have a bearing on these observations in that they suggest that the action of salt retaining hormones, which appear to be increased in congestive heart failure (9,10) are affected by the sodium content of diet.…”

Suppression of Sodium Excretion by the Colon in Congestive Heart Failure and Cirrhosis of the Liver Demonstrated by the Use of Cation Exchange Resins 1

“…Parrish (3) found in four of 10 patients with congestive heart failure increased excretion of urinary corticoids which prolonged the life of adrenalectomized rats. Deming and Luetscher (4) report greatly increased sodium-retaining activity (by a bioassay method) in the urine of patients with massive edema due to nephrosis or heart failure.…”

Sweat Sodium Levels in Congestive Heart Failure

“…Biological methods have indicated increases in corticoids ( 1 ) and DOCAlike material (2) in the urines of congestive failure patients. Biological methods have indicated increases in corticoids ( 1 ) and DOCAlike material (2) in the urines of congestive failure patients.…”
