اورودیلاتین

Also known as Urodilatin ularitide

Urodilatin (URO) is a hormone that causes natriuresis by increasing renal blood flow. It is secreted in response to increased mean arterial pressure and increased blood volume from the cells of the distal tubule and collecting duct. It is important in oliguric patients (such as those with acute kidney injury and chronic kidney failure) as it lowers serum creatinine and increases urine output.
