In children and adolescents (1-18 y, n:65) a linear correlation between plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) and plasma osmolality (Posm), as well as between AVP and urine osmolality (Uosm ...

The following information was extracted: age, gender, weight, race, comorbidity, type of patients admitted to ICU, hospital length of stay (LOS), hospital mortality, sequential organ failure ...

particularly with arginine vasopressin (AVP)-receptor antagonists. Summary: Hyponatremia (generally defined as a serum sodium concentration of <135 meq/L) is one of the most common electrolyte ...

Its management is extremely challenging because two of the three regulatory mechanisms (thirst, arginine vasopressin, and renal medullary tonicity) for maintaining plasma osmolality are impaired ...

Objectives To assess which osmolarity equation best predicts directly measured serum/plasma osmolality and whether its use could add value to routine blood test results through screening for ...

The first diagnostic steps in hyponatraemia are to confirm a hypo-osmolar hyponatraemia using serum osmolality, this measurement should match the calculated osmolality. Urinary osmolality is also ...

She was clinically euvolaemic and blood tests were as follows; serum osmolality 276 mOsmol/kg, urine osmolality 896 mOsmol/kg ... The patient was commenced on the vasopressin antagonist tolvaptan. The ...

The brain undergoes adaptation to a slow fall in serum osmolality by losing osmotically active substances ... Hyponatremia in heart failure is largely due to the inappropriate secretion of the ...
