Fibrinolytic responses to infusion of 1-desamino-8-D-arginine-vasopressin (DDAVP) were assessed in 6 males with congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI), 6 carriers of the NDI gene and 6 normal control subjects. Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity and antigen increased significantly in normal subjects, while plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) activity decreased. None of these changes were observed in patients with NDI. In 2 female carriers, normal fibrinolytic responses were seen, while in the other carriers responses were delayed. These findings are consistent with the concept of a general V2-receptor defect in congenital NDI. DDAVP tests are of limited use in NDI carrier detection.

D010959 Tissue Plasminogen Activator A proteolytic enzyme in the serine protease family found in many tissues which converts PLASMINOGEN to FIBRINOLYSIN. It has fibrin-binding activity and is immunologically different from UROKINASE-TYPE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR. The primary sequence, composed of 527 amino acids, is identical in both the naturally occurring and synthetic proteases.

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.

D003919 Diabetes Insipidus A disease that is characterized by frequent urination, excretion of large amounts of dilute URINE, and excessive THIRST. Etiologies of diabetes insipidus include deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (also known as ADH or VASOPRESSIN) secreted by the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS, impaired KIDNEY response to ADH, and impaired hypothalamic regulation of thirst.
