  3. What is Vasopressin and where is it produced?

  4. Structure of Vasopressin O NH2 O NH2 -C • Arginine-Vasopressin (AVP) • synonym: Vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) • peptide hormone • 9 amino acids • Disulfide bridge between two cysteine amino acids • C-terminal amidation NH2-

  5. Synthesis of Vasopressin • Synthesis as a precursor hormone (pre-pro-vasopressin) in the hypothalamus • Cleavage and transport in granules • down the axons • Storage in granules in the posterior pituitary • Release into nearby capillaries upon • appropriate stimulation Figures adapted from: Golenhofen, Basislehrbuch Physiologie, Urban & Fischer; and Morgenthaler NG et al.: Clin Chem 2006 Information: Russel IC and Glover PJ: Critical Care and Resuscitation 2002; Ranger GS: IJCP 2002; Oghlakian G and Klapholz M: Cardiology in Review 2009

  6. What is the physiological role of Vasopressin?

  7. Vasopressin - physiological role Main role: Regulation of water balance - Increased plasma osmolality - Decreased arterial circulating volume AVP: acts via V2-receptors in the kidney -> water retention AVP: Synthesis in the Hypothalamus Figure adapted from: Knoers NV N Engl J Med. 2005 May 5;352(18):1847-50

  8. Vasopressin (AVP) effects • Effects of AVP dependent on concentration : • maximal antidiuretic effect: below 15 pg/ml • vasoconstrictor effect at higher concentrations • very little effect on blood pressure at physiological levels! Singh Ranger G, Int J Clin Pract 2002; 56(10):777-782

  36. CT-proAVP LIA in the differential diagnosis of Diabetes insipidus

  37. What is Diabetes insipidus ? • Diabetes Insipidus (DI) is a disorder in which there is an abnormal increase in urine output, fluid intake and often thirst (polyuria-polydipsia-syndrome). • Urine output is increased because it is not concentrated normally -> the urine is not yellow but pale, colorless or watery. • Diabetes Insipidus is divided into three types, each of which has a different cause and must be treated differently. 

  38. Types of Diabetes insipidus • Central Diabetes Insipidus(also known as neurogenic DI): The most common type of DI is caused by a lack of vasopressin. • Treatment: various drugs including a modified vasopressin known as desmopressin or DDAVP • Nephrogenic Diabetes insipidus(also known as renalDI): is caused by an inability of the kidneys to respond to the "antidiuretic effect" of normal amounts of vasopressin. • Treatment: It cannot be treated with DDAVP and, depending on the cause, may or may not be curable by eliminating the offending drug or disease. 

  39. Types of Diabetes insipidus • Central Diabetes Insipidus(also known as neurogenic DI): The most common type of DI is caused by a lack of vasopressin. • Treatment: various drugs including a modified vasopressin known as desmopressin or DDAVP • Nephrogenic Diabetes insipidus(also known as renalDI): is caused by an inability of the kidneys to respond to the "antidiuretic effect" of normal amounts of vasopressin.  • Treatment: It cannot be treated with DDAVP and, depending on the cause, may or may not be curable by eliminating the offending drug or disease.  Diagnostic Challenge: All types of Diabetes insipidus also as partial forms existing!

  40. Types of Diabetes insipidus (II) • primarypolydipsia : occurs when vasopressin is suppressed by excessive intake of fluids. • most common type of polyuria-polydipsia-syndrome • most often caused by an abnormality in the part of the brain that regulates thirst or by psychogenic illnesses (psychogenic polydipsia) • difficult to differentiate from central DI because it mimics DI.   Interested in more?: http://www.diabetesinsipidus.org Also in French and Spanish language

  41. Differential Diagnosis of Diabetes insipidus • Clinical Challenges: Differential diagnosis of patients with polyuria-polydipsia syndrome • State-of-the art diagnosis: • 1. Stimulation of AVP release via a Water deprivation test • 2.Indirect measurement of AVP release by monitoring of urine osmolality and - volume during water deprivation • (ability to concentrate urine). • 3. Additional Desmopressin administration to differentiate nephrogenic DI from central DI. • Direct AVP measurement becomes not the diagnostic reference standard because of its methological limitations (instability of analyte and uncomfortable assay handling)

  42. CT-proAVP for Differential diagnosis of Diabetes insipidus ability to concentrate urine during water deprivation , indirect measurement via urine- volume and – osmolality ability to respond to desmopressin intake

  43. Differential diagnosis of Diabetes insipidus Diagnosis without water deprivation and Desmopressin stimulation possible! ability to concentrate urine during water deprivation , indirect measurement via urine- volume and - osmolality

  44. Differential diagnosis of Diabetes insipidus Diagnosis without water deprivation possible! Differential diagnosis of partial DI possible ability to concentrate urine during water deprivation , indirect measurement via urine- volume and - osmolality

  45. CT-proAVP course during water deprivation Mean value of CT-proAVP in primarypolydipsia Mean value of CT-proAVP in central DI

  46. Conclusion:Current state-of -the art - method WDT gives no reliable results in the differential diagnosis of polyuria-polydipsia syndrome!CT-proAVP is superior to the current method of choice and revives the concept of the direct test in the polyuria- polydipsia syndrome.
