We conclude that intravenous conivaptan is an effective aquaretic to treat hyponatraemia caused by SIADH, as evidenced by a simultaneous increase in serum sodium and decrease in urine osmolality. Baseline values of serum sodium, blood urea nitrogen and estimated glomerular filtration rate may help predicting the magnitude of response to therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
