“…Desmopressin prophylaxis may thus be a useful addition to standard precautions to reduce post‐biopsy bleeding complications in older adults with renal impairment. However, desmopressin can cause or exacerbate hyponatremia, a condition common among elderly and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In the absence of consensus and evidence regarding the impact of desmopressin prophylaxis in the elderly with kidney disease planned for kidney biopsy, further studies will be required to evaluate the utility and safety of desmopressin prophylaxis in these individuals.…”

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.
