Abstract:
The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion ( SIADH ),characterized with dilutional hyponatremia,is the most frequent pathophysiology of euvolemic hyponatremia in hospital inpatients.Conventional therapies for SIADH include fluid resriction,saline infusion,and some pharmacologic adjustments of fluid balance.For various reasons,conventional therapies show poor efficiency.Vasopressin receptor antagonist,a new class of pharmacologic agent,can directly block vasopressin-mediated receptor activation and target underlying pathophysiology of SIADH.
