Subcutaneous and Intranasal Administration of 1-Deamino-8-<i>d</i>-Arginine Vasopressin in the Assessment of Renal Concentration Capacity

Abstract: Maximum urine concentration capacity was studied in healthy adults using different routes and doses of administration of 1-deamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) – desmopressin. Plasma levels of DDAVP showed a dose-dependent increase after the subcutaneous but not after the intranasal administration. The effect on urine osmolality was similar but more prolonged after the subcutaneous as compared to the intranasal route. We conclude that subcutaneous injection is a simple and reliable way of administering DDA… Show more

“…A baseline sample (T₀) was collected before the administration of an intranasal spray of DDAVP (desmopressin acetate, 20 µg) [16] and a second sample was collected 4 h later (T 4 ). The U/P osm ratio was calculated and a value less than 2.8 was considered abnormal.…”

“…The ability to concentrate urine within the collecting ducts of the nephrons was investigated by the subcutaneous administration of 4 pg of desmopressin (Tryding et al 1987). The desmopressin test (DT) was performed preoperatively, as well as postoperatively within 2 days after the GFR determination.…”
