Plasma vasopressin response to hypertonic saline infusion to assess posterior pituitary function

Hypertonic saline was infused into 11 volunteers to osmotically stimulate vasopressin secretion. A strong positive correlation between plasma arginine vasopressin (PAVP) and plasma osmolality (Pos) was obtained, defined by the function PAVP=0.63 (Pos-284), r=+0.80, P
