natriuretic
natriuresis--the excretion of sodium in the urine, particularly in excessive amounts; see also salt-losing syndrome, under syndrome. pressure natriuresis, increased urinary excretion of sodium along with water when there is an increase of arterial pressure, a compensatory mechanism to maintain blood pressure within the normal range. See also pressure diuresis, under diuresis. |
