Abstract Water homeostasis is tightly regulated by the kidneys via the process of urine concentration. During reduced water intake, the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) binds to the vasopressin receptor type II (V2R) in the kidney to enhance countercurrent multiplication and medullary osmolality, and increase water reabsorption via ...

Urinary reabsorption in the rat kidney by anticholinergics
Anticholinergics, therapeutic agents for overactive bladder, are clinically suggested to reduce urine output. We investigated whether this effect is due to bladder or kidney urine reabsorption. Various solutions were injected into the bladder of urethane-

Abstract Introduction Desmopressin can be used to prevent bleeding in von Willebrand disease (VWD), but the relationship between desmopressin and von Willebrand factor activity (VWF:Act) has yet to be quantified. Aim To quantify the relationship between desmopressin dose, its plasma concentration and the VWF:Act response in type 1 VWD patients ...

Desmopressin testing in von Willebrand disease: Lowering the burden
Abstract Background Individuals with von Willebrand disease (VWD) require desmopressin testing because of interindividual response differences. However, testing is burdensome, while not all patients may need extensive testing. Objectives To provide von Willebrand factor (VWF) cutoffs that predict desmopressin nonresponse and thereby identify ...
