... to replace the loss due to the diuretic. 2. Values reached with the proposed test are not as high as those after the Pitressin-dehydration test, but the differences are small and not statistically significant. 3. The proposed test avoids the disadvantages of prolonged fluid deprivation or an injection of 5...
