OCR: lividuals Under normal circumstances, healthy i the range maintain their plasma osmolality withi ressin 282-295m osmol/kg, with plasma vasop pmol/l, concentrations varying between 0.3 and ly dilute thus allowing the formation of maxima (pAVP) and concentrated urine, respectively. Th relationship between plasma vasopressi e average and plasma osmolality (pOS) is linear, th lon: regression line being defined by the fun pAVP=0.41 (pOS-284), r=0,96, P<0,001. sensitivity The slope of the line is a measure of the easing unit of the osmoreceptor and vasopressin-re theoretical The abscissal intercept defines the mean threshold for vasopressin release.
