Deficiency of antidiuretic hormone: a rare cause of massive polyuria after kidney transplantation
Kyung Mi Jang, Young Soo Sohn, Young Ju Hwang, Bong Seok Choi, Min Hyun Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2016;59(4):202-204.   Published online April 30, 2016

A 15-year-old boy, who was diagnosed with Alport syndrome and end-stage renal disease, received a renal transplant from a living-related donor. On postoperative day 1, his daily urine output was 10,000 mL despite normal graft function. His laboratory findings including urine, serum osmolality, and antidiuretic hormone levels showed signs similar to central diabetes insipidus, so he was administered desmopressin acetate...

Pathophysiology and management of disorders in water metabolism
Dong Un Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(5):430-435.   Published online May 15, 2007
Even though we drink and excrete water without recognition, the amount and the composition of body fluid remain constant everyday. Maintenance of a normal osmolality is under the control of water balance which is regulated by vasopressin despite sodium concentration is the dominant determinant of plasma osmolality. The increased plasma osmolality (hypernatremia) can be normalized by the concentration of urine,...

Changes of Plasma Atrial Natriuretic Peptide and Antidiuretic Hormone in Congenital Heart Disease.
Sun Jun Kim, Jong San Lee, Chan Uhng Joo, Dae Yeol Lee, Jung Soo Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(8):1106-1116.   Published online August 31, 1989
Human atrial myocytes secrete atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) into the plasma, which causes rapid and marked natriuresis, diuresis and vasorelaxation. The releases of renin, aldosterone, and antidiuretic hormone are inhibited by ANP in vivo and in vitro experiments. Various atrial natriur- etic peptides were isolated and synthesized. Plasma ANP concentrations usually elevated in conges- tive heart failure, chronic renal failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension, tachyarrhythmia,...
Syndrome of Inappropriate Secretion of Antidiuretic Hormone(SIADH) in Acute Respiratory Diseases.
Young Jee KIm, Young Yull Koh, Jeong Kee Seo, Hung Ko Moon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(9):1021-1028.   Published online September 30, 1987
The SIADH incidence and relevant factors in acute respiratory diseases were evaluated in 461 children with over 28 days old, hospitalized for bronchiolitis, viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia and asthma, without other causes of electrolyte imbalance. The overall incidence of SIADH in acute respiratory diseases was 11.93%. The incidence in mycoplasma pneumonia (19.05%) was highest and incidence in bacterial pneumonia (17.42%), viral pneumonia (9.17%),...
A Study on Plasma Antidiuretic Hormone and Serum Sodium Levels of Cord Blood in the Newborn Infants.
Choon Ho Park, Chang Soo Ra
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(7):748-757.   Published online July 31, 1986
The authors studied the plasma antidiuretic hormone levels of cord blood in 40 cases of newborn infants and also studied the serum sodium levels of cord blood in 40 cases of newborn infants. For the purpose of analysis, the study subjects were divided into four group; 1st group of 17 cases of vaginal delivery infants with fetal distress, 2nd group...
