Abstract

Tolvaptan (TVP) is a selective antagonist of vasopressin receptors, approved for the treatment of hyponatremia in SIADH, congestive heart failure (CHF) and cirrhosis. We retrospectively reviewed all cases where TVP was used in a tertiary hospital (January 2012- January 2017). Our aim was to study the use of TVP in real life practice in patients with portal hypertension (PHT) (past history of non-malignant ascites or variceal bleed).
