1-Deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) was administered to 3 patients with spontaneous factor VIII inhibitors. In 2 patients with baseline factor VIII levels above 1%, a marked increase of factor VIII activity after DDAVP infusion could be observed. No rise of factor VIII activity after DDAVP was seen in the 3rd patient with a baseline factor VIII level of less than 1%. Daily infusion of DDAVP resulted in a reduction of the efficacy, but the full effect could be retained when DDAVP was given at 48-hour intervals. The effect of DDAVP infusion on factor VIII levels in the 2 responding patients was superior to the treatment with 30 U/kg factor VIII concentrate and approximately equivalent to infusion of 45 U/kg factor VIII concentrate. DDAVP may be a useful and less expensive treatment for patients with acquired factor VIII inhibitors and a baseline factor VIII level of more than 1%.

D003894 Deamino Arginine Vasopressin A synthetic analog of the pituitary hormone, ARGININE VASOPRESSIN. Its action is mediated by the VASOPRESSIN receptor V2. It has prolonged antidiuretic activity, but little pressor effects. It also modulates levels of circulating FACTOR VIII and VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR.

D005169 Factor VIII Factor VIII of blood coagulation. Antihemophilic factor that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. Factor VIII is produced in the liver and acts in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. It serves as a cofactor in factor X activation and this action is markedly enhanced by small amounts of thrombin.
