The mechanism of the diuretic effect of the new drug polyosm, polyethylene oxide 400 solution, was studied in experiments on anesthetized cats. Intravenous polyosm infusion was attended with a marked diuretic and natriuretic effect developing due to reduced reabsorption of water and natrium and increased glomerular filtration.
