Abstract
Bilateral adrenalectomy (ADX) or a sham procedure was performed in cirrhotic and control rats. After ADX, controls increased their sodium excretion with respect to the basal values but cirrhotics did not. When sodium-loaded, the ADX cirrhotic rats retained a significant amount of the load. These data do not support a primary role of aldosterone in the impaired sodium handling by cirrhotic rats.Entities:
