    Raised plasma levels of atrial natriuretic factor in cardiac allograft recipients: evidence of increased cardiac secretion and decreased renal clearance

    The mechanism(s) causing high levels of plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in cardiac allograft recipients is(are) unclear. The kidney is important for the clearance of ANF and renal function may decline w...
