商品名：Arginine Vasopressin (AVP), Antidiuretic hormone
Antidiuretic hormone. Vasopressin mimics the effect of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) on the tubule of the renal tubule. ADH permits reabsorption of water in the renal tubule. Without ADH, more diluted urine is excreted. (See Desmopressin manuscript for additional formulations and use.) Vasopressin also has potent vasopressive activity via activation of the V1 vascular receptor. The V1 vascular receptors are in high density on vascular smooth muscle. V2 receptors occur on the renal-collecting duct, and stimulation increases water reabsorption. Because of the vasopressive action, it has been used t
Vasopressin is used for treatment of polyuria caused by central diabetes insipidus. It is not effective for polyuria caused by renal disease. Desmopressin is the preferred formulation used more frequently in animals for treating diabetes insipidus. Vasopressin is used to treat vasodilatory shock via constant rate infusion (CRI) in addition to fluid therapy.
