Background: Vasopressin receptor-mediated vasoconstriction is considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of organ failure in acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).
Patients And Methods: We studied the association between six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the vasopressin 1a receptor gene and the development of organ failure in 826 patients admitted for acute decompensation of liver cirrhosis (n=641) or ACLF (n=185).
Results: No associations were found for SNPs with the presence of circulatory or renal failure. A C>T mutation in SNP rs7308855 and a T>A mutation in SNP rs7298346 showed an association with the presence of coagulation failure in the entire population (n=61, P=0.024 and 0.060, respectively) and in the subgroup of patients with ACLF (n=44, P=0.081 and 0.056, respectively).
Conclusion: Genetic variation in the vasopressin 1a receptor was found not to be associated with circulatory or renal failure, but with the presence of coagulation failure in patients with acute decompensation of liver cirrhosis and ACLF.

Background: Hyponatremia is one of the complicating findings in acute decompensated heart failure. Decrease in cardiac output and systemic blood pressure triggers activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, antidiuretic hormone, and norepinephrine due to the perceived hypovolemia. Fluid-overloaded heart failure patients are commonly treated with loop diuretics, acutely decompensated heart failure patients tend to be less responsive to conventional oral doses of a loop diuretic, while other different diuretics could work in different part of nephron circulation system.

β-arrestins play pivotal roles in seven transmembrane receptor (7TMR) signalling and trafficking. To study their functional role in regulating specific receptor systems, current research relies mainly on genetic tools, as few pharmacological options are available. To address this issue, we designed and synthesised a novel lipidated phosphomimetic peptide inhibitor targeting β-arrestins, called ARIP, which was developed based on the C-terminal tail (A343-S371) of the vasopressin V2 receptor.

Several trials have evaluated diuretic-based strategies to improve symptoms and outcomes in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). The authors sought to summarize the effect of different combination strategies on symptoms, physical signs, physiological variables, and outcomes in patients with AHF. Twelve trials were identified that assessed the addition of thiazide diuretics, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, vasopressin receptor antagonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, or loop diuretic intensification to conventional therapy for AHF.

Numerous compounds involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular system are also engaged in the control of metabolism. This review gives a survey of literature showing that arginine vasopressin (AVP), which is an effective cardiovascular peptide, exerts several direct and indirect metabolic effects and may play the role of the link adjusting blood supply to metabolism of tissues. Secretion of AVP and activation of AVP receptors are regulated by changes in blood pressure and body fluid osmolality, hypoxia, hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, and several metabolic hormones; moreover, AVP turnover is regulated by insulin.
