Diuresis associated with prolonged water immersion

Duane E. Graveline 1 and Margaret M. Jackson 1

1 6570th Aerospace Medical Research Laboratories, Aerospace Medical Division, Air Force Systems Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio

Utilizing complete water immersion, compensated respiration, and unrestricted activity, the diuretic response of five human subjects to 6-hr periods in this environment was studied. The results indicate that the low specific gravity diuresis which occurs in this situation has characteristics of both a water and an osmotic diuresis. Possible physiologic mechanisms are discussed.
