Immersion diuresis without expected suppression of vasopressin

S. E. Kravik, L. C. Keil, J. E. Silver, N. Wong, W. A. Spaul and J. E. Greenleaf

To investigate fluid, electrolyte, and plasma vasopressin (PVP) and renin activity (PRA) responses, six men (20-35 yr) were immersed to the neck (NI) in water at 34.5 degrees C for six h after overnight food and fluid restriction. Diuresis was 1,061 +/- 160 (SE) ml/6 h during immersion and water balance was -1,285 +/- 104 ml/6 h. Preimmersion PVP was 0.7 +/- 0.2 pg/ml and increased to 3.0 +/- 0.6 pg/ml (P less than 0.05) at 6 h. PVP was unchanged at 1.2 +/- 0.1 pg/ml in the 6-h seated nonimmersion experiment at 25 degrees C. Plasma volume increased by 7.8 +/- 1.6% (P less than 0.05) at 60 min of NI and decreased thereafter. Serum osmolality was constant (292 +/- 1 mosmol/kg) throughout NI, whereas PRA decreased progressively from 1.9 to 0.5 ng angiotensin I X ml-1 X h-1 (P less than 0.05) at the end of immersion. In spite of moderate thirst just before NI, thirst sensations were attenuated and no water was consumed ad libitum during immersion. These data indicate that PVP is not suppressed when there is no fluid intake during immersion and suggest that the action of factors other than PVP suppression are necessary to explain the mechanism of immersion diuresis.
