00

Biological pathway

Receptor activation raises intracellular cyclic GMP, promoting natriuresis, diuresis, vasodilation and suppression of renin-aldosterone signalling.

00b

Evidence summary

The physiology is well established in humans, while therapeutic manipulation is product- and indication-specific.

00c

Limitations

Rapid degradation, blood-pressure effects and renal-state dependence limit generalisation from physiology to treatment.
