We describe the case of a patient with hepatic cirrhosis treated with an intravenous infusion of vasopressin to control an upper digestive hemorrhage, who developed distance cutaneous necrosis and rhabdomyolysis. We review the other cases published in the international scientific literature and we discuss the possible pathogeny of these complications.

D014667 Vasopressins Antidiuretic hormones released by the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS of all vertebrates (structure varies with species) to regulate water balance and OSMOLARITY. In general, vasopressin is a nonapeptide consisting of a six-amino-acid ring with a cysteine 1 to cysteine 6 disulfide bridge or an octapeptide containing a CYSTINE. All mammals have arginine vasopressin except the pig with a lysine at position 8. Vasopressin, a vasoconstrictor, acts on the KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCTS to increase water reabsorption, increase blood volume and blood pressure.
