Urine concentration in depressive illness.

A total of 132 urine specimens were obtained from 17 depressed patients and 18 controls under conditions of mild water deprivation. Mean values of milliosmoles of solute and millilitres of urine excreted per hour were obtained for each subject. The depressed patients excreted significantly less solute than the control group per unit volume of urine. There was no significant difference between the solute excretion rates of depressed patients and those who had recently recovered from depression-though the trend was towards normality. The significance of these results is discussed in relation to studies on body fluids and electrolytes and the role of ADH and aldosterone in affective disorders.

Cortisol in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients suffering from affective disorders.

Cortisol concentration was estimated by a competitive protein-binding method in the lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients suffering from depression or from mania, and compared with the CSF cortisol concentration of neurological control patients not suffering from an affective disorder. There were no significant differences between the groups.
