    Notes: Abstract A 14-year-old boy with the syndrome of hypertension and hyperkalaemia with normal glomerular filtration rate (Gordon's syndrome) is described. The patient's clinical symptoms consisted of periodic paralysis, slight metabolic acidosis of the proximal type and hypercalciuria. Prostaglandin excretion was normal. Infusion of atrial natriuretic peptide had no effect on electrolyte excretion or glomerular function although a normal increase in cyclic guanosine monophosphate was demonstrated in plasma and urine. This lack of sensitivity to atrial natriuretic peptide offers a new pathophysiological concept in this syndrome. Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide was successful in this case.

    Notes: Abstract In four boys with congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, plasma arginine-vasopressin (AVP) and urinary excretion of prostaglandins were studied in response to treatment with hydrochlorothiazide and indomethacin. An abnormal relationship between AVP and urine osmolality was demonstrated in all patients. In the first patient, treatment with indomethacin (3 mg/kg per day) resulted in a drop of the inulin and paraminohippurate clearances. In the other three patients urinary excretion of PGE2 was raised, and fell during treatment with hydrochlorothiazide (2 mg/kg per day) and indomethacin (2 mg/kg per day). Urine flow, free water clearance and osmolar clearance decreased during treatment. A combination of both drugs is more effective than hydrochlorothiazide alone and the effect appears to be additive.
