Synthesis of Vasopressin
 Synthesis as a precursor hormone
(pre-pro-vasopressin) in the hypothalamus
 Cleavage and transport in granules
down the axons
 Storage in granules in the posterior pituitary
 Release into nearby capillaries upon
appropriate stimulation

What is the physiological
role of Vasopressin?

Vasopressin - physiological role
Main role:
Regulation of water balance
- Increased plasma osmolality
- Decreased arterial circulating volume
AVP:
Synthesis in the
Hypothalamus
AVP:
acts via V2-receptors in
the kidney
-> water retention

Effects of AVP dependent on concentration :

 vasoconstrictor effect at higher concentrations
 very little effect on blood pressure at physiological levels!

CT-proAVP LIA in the differential
diagnosis of Diabetes insipidus
36
What is Diabetes insipidus ?
• Diabetes Insipidus (DI) is a disorder in which there is
an abnormal increase in urine output, fluid intake and
often thirst (polyuria-polydipsia-syndrome).
• Urine output is increased because it is not
concentrated normally -> the urine is not yellow but
pale, colorless or watery.
• Diabetes Insipidus is divided into three types, each of
which has a different cause and must be treated
differently.
37
Types of Diabetes insipidus
• Central Diabetes Insipidus (also known as neurogenic
DI): The most common type of DI is caused by a lack of
vasopressin.
Treatment: various drugs including a modified
vasopressin known as desmopressin or DDAVP
• Nephrogenic Diabetes insipidus (also known as renal
DI): is caused by an inability of the kidneys to respond to
the "antidiuretic effect" of normal amounts of vasopressin.
Treatment: It cannot be treated with DDAVP and,
depending on the cause, may or may not be curable
by eliminating the offending drug or disease.

Treatment: It cannot be treated with DDAVP and,
depending on the cause, may or may not be curable
by eliminating the offending drug or disease.
Diagnostic Challenge:
All types of Diabetes insipidus also as partial forms existing!
39
Types of Diabetes insipidus (II)
• primary polydipsia : occurs when vasopressin is
suppressed by excessive intake of fluids.
• most common type of polyuria-polydipsia-syndrome
• most often caused by an abnormality in the part of the
brain that regulates thirst or by psychogenic illnesses
(psychogenic polydipsia)
• difficult to differentiate from central DI because it mimics
DI.

Differential Diagnosis of Diabetes insipidus
41

Clinical Challenges: Differential diagnosis of patients with
polyuria-polydipsia syndrome

State-of-the art diagnosis:
1. Stimulation of AVP release via a Water deprivation test
2. Indirect measurement of AVP release by monitoring of urine
osmolality and - volume during water deprivation
(ability to concentrate urine).
3. Additional Desmopressin administration to differentiate
nephrogenic DI from central DI.

Direct AVP measurement becomes not the diagnostic
reference standard because of its methological limitations
(instability of analyte and uncomfortable assay handling)

Superiority of CT-proAVP in diagnosing Diabetes insipidus
Conclusion:
Current state-of -the
art - method WDT
gives no reliable
results in the
differential diagnosis
of polyuria-polydipsia
syndrome!
CT-proAVP is
superior to the
current method of
choice and revives
the concept of the
direct test in the
polyuria- polydipsia
syndrome.

Advantages for the diagnostic routine
• Significantly higher diagnostic accuracy for all variations of
Diabetes insipidus and primary Polydipsia
• Considerably eased differential diagnosis of PolyuriaPolydipsia-Syndrome
• Reduced physical and psychical exposure of the patient due
to simplified WDT and redundancy of desmopressin stimulation
• Support of safe therapeutic decisions with highly sensitive
measurement values
• Overall cost reduction due to reduced complexity, less lab
consulting and no prescription of desmopressin
51
What about the performance of
the LIA assay?
52
Reminder: Why not measure AVP directly?
• AVP is very unstable in plasma even at -20 °C storage (sample
transport frozen or blood collection directly in the lab)
• AVP is largely attached to platelets
• AVP assays performed with the required accuracy are available
in only a few selected laboratories (non of them FDA cleared)
• Sample extraction necessary
• Time to result up to 72 hours
• Sample volume 1-4 ml plasma
• No reliable clinical results
53
Advantages Thermo Scientific B·R·A·H·M·S CT-proAVP LIA
