In some patients with familial dysautonimia, plasma renin activity shows a paradoxical response to postural stimuli, i.e., levels of plasma renin activity are high when the patient is in the supine position and fall significantly during subsequent ambulation. Furthermore, there is no coordinated release of plasma renin activity and aldosterone. The aim of the present study was to determine whether these findings are accompanied by a disturbance of salt conservation. Six patients were studied in a summer camp while on normal and low-salt diets. Plasma and urinary aldosterone levels rose sharply and appropriately when four of the patients were placed on a low-sodium diet. In these subjects, urinary sodium output fell sharply although three of them failed to attain sodium equilibrium by the third day of the low-sodium regimen. Elevation of early morning plasma renin activity appeared to correlate with an inversion in the normal day-night rhythm in urinary volume.
