  2. Vasopressin (medication) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasopressin_(medication)

    Vasopressin infusions are in use for septic shock patients not responding to fluid resuscitation or infusions of catecholamines (e.g., dopamine or norepinephrine) to increase the blood pressure while sparing the use of catecholamines. These argipressins have much shorter elimination half-life (around 20 minutes) than synthetic non-arginine ...

  4. Central diabetes insipidus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_diabetes_insipidus

    Central diabetes insipidus, recently renamed arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D), [1] is a form of diabetes insipidus that is due to a lack of vasopressin (ADH) production in the brain. Vasopressin acts to increase the volume of blood (intravascularly), and decrease the volume of urine produced.

    Nephrogenic DI may be treated by addressing the underlying cause or by the use of a thiazide, aspirin or ibuprofen. [1] The number of new cases of diabetes insipidus each year is 3 in 100,000. [4] Central DI usually starts between the ages of 10 and 20 and occurs in males and females equally. [2] Nephrogenic DI can begin at any age. [3]

  6. Vasodilatory shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasodilatory_shock

    Tone may be inhibited by atrial stretch receptors and vasopressin release may be inhibited by nitric oxide or high circulating levels of norepinephrine. [ 23 ] Vasodilatory shock is often involved with the dysfunction of physiologic compensatory mechanisms such as the sympathetic nervous system , vasopressin arginine system and renin ...

    Both cause excessive urination (hence the similarity in name), but whereas diabetes insipidus is a problem with the production of antidiuretic hormone (neurogenic diabetes insipidus) or the kidneys' response to antidiuretic hormone (nephrogenic diabetes insipidus), diabetes mellitus causes polyuria via osmotic diuresis, due to the high blood ...

    The vasopressin receptor 2 antagonists, tolvaptan or conivaptan, may also be used. [2] The presence of cerebral edema , or other moderate to severe symptoms, may necessitate intravenous hypertonic saline administration with close monitoring of the serum sodium levels to avoid overcorrection.
