Vasopressin (arginine vasopressin; AVP) is a peptide hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, also known as argipressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH). The main uses are as follows: Fluid balance regulation: Vasopressin is used to treat diabetes insipidus, which is characterized by excessive thirst and frequent urination due to a deficiency in natural vasopressin production. Blood pressure maintenance: In emergency situations where blood pressure needs to be rapidly increased, vasopressin can be administered to quickly raise blood pressure levels. Hemorrhage control: Vasopressin can help minimize bleeding during surgery or other medical situations by promoting blood clot formation and vascular constriction.
