Pre-Procedure Desmopressin Acetate to Reduce Bleeding in Renal Failure: Does It Really Work?

Abstract: Background: Desmopressin (DDAVP) is often used prior to procedures to minimize bleeding in patients with renal failure; however, there is little evidence to support this practice. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the practice of administration of DDAVP prior to procedures within our division and to determine the number of bleeding episodes for patients who received DDAVP compared to those who did not. Methods: Hospital records of patients who underwent renal biopsy or central line placement betwee… Show more

“…Similar findings were reported in renal surgery (kidney biopsy), with certain subpopulations of patients (serum creatinine ≥1.8 mg/dl and GFR <15 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ) more likely to experience benefit with desmopressin (33,34).…”

“…Radhakrishnan et al [ 12 ] did not find a statistically significant reduction in bleeding for patients receiving preprocedural DDAVP in patients with GFR <60 mL/minute/1.73 m 2 in their study. However, in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <15 mL/minute/1.73 m 2 , there was a trend toward a benefit for the role of DDAVP, but the numbers were small.…”
