Abstract The present work aims to study the plasma atrial natriuretic peptide in chronic renal failure patients under different treatment modalities and its correlation with kidney function. One of the important studies in physiology and medicine is the discovery of natriuretic granules in the atria of the heart (De Bold, 1979) and it was shown that intravenous injection of atrial extract in an anaesthetized rat produced considerable natriuresis (Jin-H . et aI., 1996). But later this atrial extract was established and it has been named atrial natriuretic factor. |
