Abtat | The vaptans constitute a ne class of pharmaceuticals developed for the treatment of the

hypervolemic and euvolemic forms of hyponatremia. These agents are nonpeptide vasopressin antagonists

that interfere ith the antidiuretic effect of the hormone by competitively binding to V2receptors in the kidney.

This blockade results in ater diuresis (aquaresis) that, if not offset by increased fluid intake, reduces body

ater content and raises plasma sodium levels. Probably as a result of this rise in plasma sodium, thirst and

plasma vasopressin concentration increase, potentionally limiting the effects of the vasopressin antagonists.

Nonetheless, vaptans are particularly useful to treat hypervolemic hyponatremia associated ith severe

congestive heart failure or chronic liver failure, as the only other treatments currently available, such as fluid

restriction and diuretics, are slo-acting and minimally effective. Vaptans are also useful for treating euvolemic

hyponatremia associated ith the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), at least hen it

is chronic and/or minimally symptomatic. Hoever, because their effects vary unpredictably from patient topatient, vaptans are less useful than hypertonic saline infusion in cases of acute, severe and symptomatic

hyponatremia. Vaptan therapy is absolutely contraindicated in hypovolemic hyponatremia (in hich total body

ater is reduced) and is ineffective in the vasopressin-independent form of inappropriate antidiuresis caused

by constitutive activating mutations of V2receptors.

Key points

Vaptans are nonpeptide agents that antagonize the antidiuretic effect of ■

vasopressin by competing ith it for binding to V2

receptors in the kidney

Vaptans increase solute-free ater excretion, reduce body ater content and■

raise the plasma sodium level by reducing urine concentration, unless the

aquaresis is offset by increased fluid intake

The vaptan-induced rise in plasma sodium often stimulates thirst and/or■

vasopressin secretion, hich, in turn, may feed back to increase fluid intakeand/or overcome blockade of the V2

receptor

In conjunction ith modest restriction of fluid intake, vaptans have proven safe■

and effective in treating chronic hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia

The use of vaptans to treat acute, symptomatic forms of hyponatremia is still■

debatable, because their effects on plasma sodium vary unpredictably from

patient to patient

Vaptan therapy is contraindicated in hypovolemic hyponatremia, a disorder■

associated ith decreased total body ater and sodium levels, and is ineffective

in a form of inappropriate antidiuresis that is independent of vasopressin

Control Production Transport Action

Increased uid intake

Figure 1 | Principal elements of the osmoregulatory system. Vasopressin reduces urine output and raises urineconcentration (osmolarity) by increasing the reabsorption of solute-free ater in collecting tubules of the kidney.45 Thisantidiuretic effect is mediated via the V

2receptor that acts via adenyl cyclase to insert preformed aquaporin 2 ater

channels into the luminal surface of the cell,46 thereby permitting solute-free ater to diffuse passively from the lumen andthrough the cell along the osmotic pressure gradient created by the hypertonic renal medulla. In the absence of V

2receptor

stimulation, dilute filtrate passes unmodified through the collecting ducts to be excreted as urine ith an osmolarity<90 mosmol/l and a flo rate as high as 900 ml/h. As output of this magnitude can compensate for all but the mostpathologically excessive rates of ater intake, the threshold or set point of the vasopressin osmostat effectivelydetermines the loest level to hich plasma osmolarity and sodium can be depressed, provided glomerular filtration andsolute excretion are normal. Abbreviations: AVP, arginine vasopressin; cAMP, cyclic AMP.
