natriureettisten
Natriureettisten refers to substances that promote natriuresis, the excretion of sodium by the kidneys. This process is crucial for maintaining fluid balance and blood pressure within the body. Several types of natriuretic factors exist, broadly categorized as peptide hormones and other molecules.
The most well-known natriuretic peptides are atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). ANP
Other natriuretic factors include urodilatin, a peptide found in urine, and natriuretic humoral factors of non-peptide
