Clinical usefulness of a radioimmunoassay of plasma arginine vasopressin concentration (AVP) during hypertonic saline infusion for the assessment of posterior pituitary function was studied in comparison with the conventional water deprivation test. <BR>Infusion of 5% saline at a rate of 0.05ml/kg/min for 120min in 15 normal subjects induced an elevation of plasma osmolality (Posm) from 290.3±0.7 to 307.5± 2.1mOsm/kg with a resultant increase in AVP from 2.4±0.4 to 9.9± 2.2pg/ml. During the infusion, a highly significant correlation between AVP and Posm was observed with a regression line expressed as AVP = 0.40 (Posm - 283.0). In 22 polyuric patients, on the other hand, the infusion induced a marked elevation of Posm from 302.6±2.5 to 321.3±2.9mOsm/kg, but caused a slight (<5.8pg/ml) or no increase in AVP from the basal levels (0.5±0.1pg/ml). <BR>A conventional water deprivation test was carried out in ten patients with neurogenic diabetes insipidus, including one who had coincidental nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. As would be expected, urine osmolality (Uosm) did not rise beyond Posm in seven of them. However, two of three other patients, who had a complete lack of AVP response to the hypertonic saline, were able to concentrate their urine with a maximal Uosm/Posm of 1.3 and 1.1 respectively. <BR>The concurrent decrease in creatinine clearance to 49 and 57% of the initial values, respectively, indicated that a marked reduction in glomerular filtration rate due to severe dehydration was responsible for the unexpected concentration of urine in the patients with totally impaired AVP secretion. <BR>Based on these results, we conclude that the direct measurement of AVP during hypertonic saline infusion is an essential procedure for the accurate evaluation of posterior pituitary function.
