Vasopressin, also known as argipressin, is used to treat the following conditions - elevated blood pressure in adults in shock; to increase water retention in patients with diabetes; and to control bleeding of the esophagus. Vasopressin causes constriction of blood vessels and causes the kidney to...
1、Vasopressin is used to manage anti-diuretic hormone deficiency. 2、Vasopressin can be used to treatdiabetes (糖尿病)insipidus related to low levels of antiduretic hormone.It is available as pressyn. 3、Vasopressin agonists are used therapeutically in various...
Arg-vasopressin is used to treat DIABETES INSIPIDUS or to improve vasomotor tone and BLOOD PRESSURE. Definition (NCI) This protein is processed from a precursor protein consisting of arginine vasopressin and two associated proteins, neurophysin II and a glycopeptide, copeptin. Arginine vasopressin is ...
The pressor properties of vasopressin are used to treat hypotensive shock, particularly due to bleeding oesophageal varices. Because the V1 receptors are widespread in the circulation, vasoconstriction is not confined to bleeding areas, and therapeutic use of intravenous vasopressin may lead to mesenteric...
Various forms of exogenous vasopressin exist and have been used in neonates to treat conditions such as diabetes insipidus. Vasopressin has also been studied on a limited basis for use in the treatment of catecholamine-resistant hypotension in vasodilatory shock. Hypotension is a significant problem ...
Vasopressin, a neuropeptide hormone, or its analogue terlipressin has been used to treat refractory hypotension in neonates and may be effective. Objectives Our primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vasopressin and its synthetic analogues (e.g. terlipressin) in decreasing ...
Purpose Hypoxia and reoxygenation (H-R) contributes to multi-organ failure in neonates, including cardiac and systemic complications. Use of vasopressin, an endogenous vasoconstrictive hormone commonly used to treat refractory hypotension in adults, in neonates with shock remains limited and not yet ful...
in patients with septic shock (42.5% vs. 49.2%, respectively; RR, 0.87 (0.75 to 1.00); P = 0.05; number needed to treat, 1 to 15) Vasopressin use in vasodilatory shock is safe no difference in adverse events between the vasopressin and control groups (RR, 0.98 (0.65 to 1.47); P ...
The vasopressin analogue desmopressin is used to treat diabetes insipidus and in the management of von Willebrand's disease. Terlipressin (another analogue) is used to limit bleeding from oesophageal varices in patients with portal hypertension. When used for the management of low SVR states, ...
Any of the drugs (such as conivaptan and tolvaptan) that block cellular receptors to antidiuretic hormone and increase the excretion of water by the kidneys. These agents are used to treat hyponatremia in patients with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone. See also: antagonist ...
