Permeability of antidiuretic hormone and other hormones through the dialysis membrane in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis

K Shimamoto, T Ando, T Nakao, I Watarai and M Miyahara

In eight patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis, ultrafiltration was performed for 1 h in each patient. The concentration of urea nitrogen, creatinine, ADH, cortisol, GH, prolactin and TSH was measured in plasma and the filtering solution, and the permeability of each substance was determined. The plasma concentration of ADH coincided with that of the filtering solution, and no significant difference was noted between the permeability of creating and ADH. In contrast, cortisol, GH, prolactin and TSH were not detected in the filtering solution. Chromatographic study showed that ADH in the filtering solution coincided with synthetic ADH. From a comparison of the permeability with the molecular weight, it was suggested that ADH in the blood exists in free form without binding with plasma proteins or neurophysin.
