Natriuretic peptide-induced hyponatremia in a patient with left atrial myxoma

Authors: D Ramnarain, N Mehra

Excerpt

In addition to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, natriuretic peptides act as regulators of blood pressure. Natriuretic peptides increase sodium and water excretion, increase the glomerular filtration rate, and are vasodilatators. We report a case in which a large atrial myxoma induced overproduction of natriuretic peptides, causing clinically relevant hyponatriemia, hypotension and polyuria. …
