  • Title: [Effect of dexamethasone on water-salt metabolism and renal function in healthy humans].
    Author: Noskov VB, Grigor'ev AI.
    Journal: Farmakol Toksikol; 1978; 41(6):704-8. PubMed ID: 720584.
    Abstract:
    Dexamethazone at a single dose of 2 mg caused in the next 24 hours retention in the organism of a healthy man of a liquid and salts against the background of an abrupt fall of excretion by the kidneys of 17-oxycorticosteroids. Most distinctly this effect manifested itself after an aqueous test (20 ml/kg). A functional test with dexamethazone may be used clinically in assessing the condition of the hormonal link of the water-electrolyte metabolism regulation and renal function.
