1-Deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin and urine cyclic adenosine monophosphate excretion in diabetes insipidus. 1981

P R Blackett, and J R Seely, and D H Altmiller, and J L Males

The response to 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP), an intranasally administered analogue of vasopressin, was investigated in children and adults with central diabetes insipidus. To assess the action of DDAVP on the distal nephron, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) excretion was assayed in urine collected 4 hr before and during four subsequent 4-hr periods after intranasal administration of 5 micrograms DDAVP. Maximal effects on urine volume and concentration were observed between 4 and 12 hr, coinciding with an elevated cAMP excretion in seven subjects. The pretreatment 4-hr cAMP excretion (micrograms/gm creatinine) correlated inversely with age (p less than 0.02) and surface area (p less than 0.001). Subsequent cAMP excretion after DDAVP increased inconsistently with no relationship to duration of antidiuresis, indicating that urinary cAMP is a poor index of antidiuretic hormone action on the distal nephron. We also confirmed that DDAVP intranasally induces antidiuresis in patients with diabetes insipidus over approximately 12 hr.

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.

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.
