Desmopressin (trade name DDAVP) is a vasopressin receptor agonist drug used to treat diabetes insipidus, bedwetting, hemophilia A, von Willebrand disease, and high blood urea levels. Desmopressin works by binding to arginine vasopressin receptors 1A and 1B (AVP1A,B) in the renal collecting duct (Saito et al. 1997, Derick et al. 2002). As a consequence, downstream signalling stimulates aquaporin channel translocation to the apical membrane of the collecting duct where they increase water reabsorption from urine (antidiuretic).
