  • Title: Atriopeptin in the twin transfusion syndrome.
    Author: Nageotte MP, Hurwitz SR, Kaupke CJ, Vaziri ND, Pandian MR.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1989 May; 73(5 Pt 2):867-70. PubMed ID: 2523029.
    Abstract:
    Atriopeptin, a peptide produced by mammalian atria that promotes diuresis, natriuresis, and vascular changes, was in much higher concentration in the recipient twin than in the donor in two cases of severe twin transfusion syndrome. This finding suggests a possible etiology for the changes seen in twin transfusion syndrome.
