Tolvaptan: a new tool for the effective treatment of hyponatremia in psychotic disorders

Abstract: A modest literature exists regarding prevalence rates and risk factors associated with hyponatremia in psychotic populations. Hyponatremia is common and serious enough to merit clinical concern. Perhaps, now that tolvaptan has been FDA-approved, progress will accelerate and new insights will develop that begin to bring relief from this medical comorbidity among psychotic patients.

“…These drugs can be administered intravenously (conivaptan, for up to 4 hospital days) or orally (tolvaptan, treatment must be initiated in the hospital) in euvolemic or hypervolemic hyponatremia of mild to moderate severity but not in hypovolemic hyponatremia. 9,[39][40][41][42][43] Because the aquaretic response to these drugs is variable, close vigilance of the trend of serum sodium is required. The introduction of vaptans generated great expectations, yet concerns about safety and cost currently limit the utility of these promising drugs for long-term management of hyponatremia.…”

“…• Recently introduced drugs such as tolvaptan, a so-called vaptan (non-peptide arginine-vasopression antagonist -also known as aquaretics because they induce a highly hypotonic diuresis), and show promise in the treatment of hyponatremia of varying etiology, including that caused by drug-related SIADH [6,14,15].…”

“…Unlike traditional diuretics, Tolvaptan is a receptor antagonist of highly selective vasopressin V2 that promotes excretion of water without electrolyte. Besides, it neither in uences in vivo electrolyte content except for serum sodium ion, nor easily results in kidney failure [7]. Tolvaptan has been approved by many countries around the world for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, cardiac failure and hyponatremia [8][9].…”
