The effect of 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) on mean arterial pressure, pulse rate (PR), plasma renin activity (PRA), plasma factor VIIIc and von Willebrand factor were studied in a case of persistent lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (LINDI). 20% decrease in MAP, 22% increase in PR, 100% in PRA, and release of coagulation factors (2- to 3-fold) were noticed after infusion of 0.3 micrograms/kg DDAVP. Urinary prostaglandin (PG) E2 were enhanced. The treatment of this LINDI by PG synthesis inhibitor (PSI) combined with a low osmotic diet (LOD) led to a 51% fall in urine volume, 57% in free water clearance and 75% in sodium clearance. Urinary osmolality rose by 42% but remained low, probably in part because of the LOD. Urinary PGE2 was about one fifth of the initial high value. The results argue for (1) an end-organ resistance to DDAVP confined to the kidneys in LINDI and (2) an effectiveness of indomethacin combined with an LOD.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the impact of arginine vasopressin (AVP) and angiotensin II (Ang II) on aquaporin 2 (AQP2) expression in M - 1 cells.
Methods: M - 1 cells were stimulated with desmopressin (dDAVP) and Ang II, followed by treatment with tolvaptan and losartan. The expression and protein levels of V2R, AT1R, AQP2, and p-S256AQP2 were measured via ELISA, western blotting, RT-qPCR, and immunofluorescence.

Background And Objectives: This study aimed to determine the efficacy of prophylactic desmopressin administered via the intranasal or intravenous route in reducing intraoperative bleeding during nasal surgery. We conducted a meta-analysis of the relevant literature to investigate the role of preoperative desmopressin in minimizing bleeding complications associated with nasal surgery.
Methods: We screened the relevant literature published before February 2023.

Objective: In pediatrics, weight-based doses can be very small, leading to measuring tiny volumes of the commercial desmopressin nasal solution at 0.1mg/mL, which reduces precision and increases the risk of error. Since stability of the desmopressin acetate solution diluted at 0.

Peptide-polymer systems hold strong potential for applications in nanotherapeutics. Desmopressin, a synthetic analogue of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin, may serve as a valuable case of study in this context since it is a first-line treatment for disorders affecting water homeostasis, including diabetes insipidus. It also has an established use as a hemostatic agent in von Willebrand disease, and recently, its repurposing has been suggested as a neoadjuvant in the treatment of certain types of cancer.
