Question
Answer
Vasopressin is the main hormone involved in what?   The regulation of body fluid osmolality  
🗑
What can stimulate vasopressin (ADH) release?   High plasma osmolality, major hypovolemia, and major hypotension  
🗑
Where are the vasopressin receptors located?   V1 on vascular smooth muscle : V2 on principal cells of renal collecting duct and vascular epithelium  
🗑
What are the results of binding to V1?   Causes vasoconstriction in vascular smooth muscle  
🗑
What happens when vasopressin binds to V2?   V2 receptors on vascular endothelium will release clotting favtor VIII and vWF from storage sites  
🗑
Without vasopressin, what kind of urine is produced?   Dilute urine  
🗑
The V2 receptor on the basolateral membrane in the collecting duct coupes to Gs. What signaling pathway is activated/inhibited?   This activates adenylyl cyclase.  
🗑
With vasopressin, what type of urine is produced?   Concentrated urine  
🗑
What cells in the collecting ducts do vasopressin bind to?   It binds to the basolateral membrane of principal cells  
🗑
What does activating Gs do?   Activates adenylyl cyclase and increases cAMP  
🗑
Increased cAMP will activate what?   Protein kinase A, which will induce water channels to move to the apical membrane, increasing water permeability  
🗑
Name the two vasopressin agents.   Vasopressin and desmopressin  
🗑
What is the half-life, receptor(s), and route(s) of administration for vasopressin?   Short acting (half-life about 10 minutes) : Binds both V1 and V2 : IM, SC, IV  
🗑
What is the half-life, receptor(s), and route(s) of administration for desmopressin?   Long acting (half-life about 75 minutes) : Binds V2>>>V1 : IV, SC, intranasal, oral  
🗑
Which agent will selectively affect urine output?   Desmopressin  
🗑
Name the clinical uses for vasopressin.   Advance Cardiac Life Support : Vasodilatory shock  
🗑
What is a clinical use for desmopressin?   Primary nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting) - use for 4-8 weeks in children >6 with severe NE  
🗑
How does this happen?   Binds to V2 in the kidney -> increases water permeability in the collecting duct -> increase water reabsorption -> decrease urine output  
🗑
Other clinical uses of desmopressin.   Hemophillia A or type I von Willebrand's disease - increase circulating levels of factor VIII and vWF and shorten bleeding time : Central diabetes insipidus  
🗑
Where is the issue in Central diabetes insipidus?   The posterior pituitary does not release vasopressin  
🗑
Why does desmopressin not work in nephrogenic D.I.?   The V2 receptors have insufficient response to binding.  
🗑
A two year old boy is diagnosed with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. What drug will be most useful in treating him?   Hydroclorothiazide  
🗑
Why do you give desmopressin for central DI and not vasopressin?   Desmopressin is selective for V2 causing less side effects  
🗑
What are the adverse effects seen with vasopressin (V1)   Facial pallor, transient headache, nausea, abdominal cramps, hypertension, coronary vasospasm  
🗑
Adverse effects associated with vasopressin and desmopressin (V2)   Water intoxication, hyponatremia (hypervolemia hyponatremia)  
🗑
Why do you not use intranasal desmopressin to treat bed wetting?   It can cause DEATH  
🗑
Adverse effects with intranasal desmopressin.   Congestion and rhinitis  
🗑
