The effects of 1-deamino-8D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) on plasma factor VIII and von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels were studied in four patients with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) from two unrelated families. While the urine osmolality remained low, the plasma levels of factor VIII and vWF rose 2- to 3-fold after infusion of 0.3 micrograms/kg DDAVP, compared to preinfusion levels. The degree of increase was similar in both NDI patients and normal subjects. We conclude that in NDI patients the end-organ resistance to DDAVP is confined to the kidneys and does not involve the sites from which factor VIII and vWF are released.

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.
D004341	Drug Evaluation	Any process by which toxicity, metabolism, absorption, elimination, preferred route of administration, safe dosage range, etc., for a drug or group of drugs is determined through clinical assessment in humans or veterinary animals.

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.
