The resulting natriuresis is of lesser magnitude than the water diuresis, leading eventually to excessive water loss and hypernatremia.
3.
It has also been seen that in rats, such extracts cause an increase in potassium excretion without a concomitant change in water diuresis or sodium excretion.
4.
At that point, there is an abrupt water diuresis ( an increase in urination since there is no longer any ADH acting to retain the water ).
5.
Cortisol acts as a diuretic, increasing water diuresis, glomerular filtration rate, and renal plasma flow from the kidneys, as well as increasing sodium retention and potassium excretion.
6.
Should the rate of rise of serum sodium exceed 0.33 mmol / L / h over several hours, vasopressin may be administered to prevent ongoing rapid water diuresis ( excessive urination ).
