Vasopressin (medication)
text:
Vasopressin infusions are in use for septic shock patients not responding to fluid resuscitation or infusions of catecholamines to increase the blood pressure while sparing the use of catecholamines. These argipressins have much shorter elimination half-life than synthetic non-arginine vasopresines with much longer elimination half-life of many hours. Further, argipressins act on V1a, V1b, and V2 receptors which consequently lead to higher eGFR and lower vascular resistance in the lungs. A numbe
