    Notes: Summary Urinary kallikrein excretion was studied in young, stroke-prone, spontaneously hypertensive rats (spSHR). Seven-week-old spSHR were found to excrete more kallikrein into the urine than normotensive Wistar Kyoto control rats (WKR). “Chemical sympathectomy”, induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) immediately after birth, resulted in normotensive blood-pressure levels and in a reduction of kallikrein in spSHR. In normotensive WKR, blood pressure and urinary kallikrein excretion were only slightly diminished by 6-OHDA. The results suggest a relationship between sympathetic activity and kallikrein excretion, being especially pronounced in spSHR, which have an elevated sympathetic activity.

    Notes: Abstract In order to evaluate the possible role of vasoactive hormones in the mechanism of exaggerated sodium loss due to reduced renal mass we measured plasma concentration of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), aldosterone, plasma renin activity (PRA), plasma noradrenaline, and dopamine, in 12 children with advanced chronic renal failure (mean CIn17.8-2.6,x± SEM, CPAH93.5±17 ml/min per 1.73 m2, FENa7.0±0.95%). No patient had clinical signs of volume overload. Plasma concentrations of ANP were not significantly different from those of healthy agematched controls (29.2±7.2 vs 23.2±3.1 fmol/ml) and did not correlate with urinary sodium excretion. Plasma concentrations of aldosterone, PRA and noradrenaline, were also within the physiological range, while plasma dopamine levels were elevated (260±36 vs 98±11 pg/ml, 〈0.001). Our data do not support the notion that ANP or the renin-aldosterone axis play a major role in the adaptation of remaining nephrons to maintain long-term sodium balance in normotensive children with chronic renal failure.

    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 Hyponatraemia is one of the most common electrolyte abnormalities in hospitalised children. In a prospective study we tested whether hyponatraemia is associated with sustained release of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP). Out of 27 children with persistent hyponatremia (serum sodium 〈130 mmol/l), 25 had measurable plasma concentrations of AVP [median and quartiles 5.0 pg/ml (1.5–8.3)]. Volume contraction as consequence of sodium loss caused hyponatraemia in 16 patients. Hyponatraemia in the presence of extracellular volume expansion and reduced effective arterial blood volume occurred in 5 patients. Only 3 patients had normovolaemic hyponatraemia (so-called syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion) and 3 suffered from chronic renal failure. It is concluded that plasma AVP concentration is measurable in most children with hyponatraemia. Non-osmotic stimulation of AVP release and lack of suppression of this hormone is an important pathogenetic mechanism of hyponatraemia in children.

    Notes: Abstract Abstract Three children with severe hyponatraemia and hyperkalaemia associated with acute pyelonephritis are reported. All were very young male infants in a poor general condition and seriously dehydrated. Diagnostic procedures did not detect obstructive uropathy or vesico-ureteric reflux. Conclusion Hyponatraemia and hyperkalaemia occurs in young infants with severe acute pyelonephritis in the absence of obstructive uropathy or vesico-ureteric reflux. The severe inflammation of the kidney itself may explain the electrolyte disturbance by a transient resistance of the distal tubule to aldosterone.
