Individual differences in the antidiuretic response induced by single doses of 1-deamino-8-D-arginine-vasopressin (DDAVP) in patients with pituitary diabetes insipidus
Abstract
Marked interindividual differences were found in the height and duration of the antidiuretic action induced by increasing single intravenous doses (0.5 mug and 8 mug) of DDAVP in patients with pituitary diabetes insipidus. It was assumed that differences in the duration of action reflected individual variations in the rate of removal of vasopressin.
