        | acute heart failure when volume resistance happens on therapy with various other diuretics , Tolvaptan is by far the most commonly prescribed (also conivaptan). MOA: blockvasopressins endogenous effect on the V2 receptor in the collecting duct. They are really only used to ever treat hyponatremia, as they cause aquaresis, or simply, water excretion in the urine. SE: serious, hepatotoxicity and hypernatremia, an excessive thirst (discontinue), monitor BMP 2x day |  |

        | mannitol, used for intraocular pressure, intracranial pressure. draws water into the lumen of the nephron, which is then used to lower volume response because electrolytes will follow that water and you'll diurese electrolytes as well as water to the urine. SE: hypervolemia, and may crystallize at room temperature (keep in fridge), also directly nepherotoxic, can cause some very irritating side effects in the skin, which can appear red, angry, and painful |  |

Often, hypercalcemia is one of the precipitating factors in diabetes insipidus. So use of loop diuretics is not advised.. treat w low salt and low protein diets, thiazide and K-sparing diuretics are preferred , NSAIDS are useful, may need exogenous anti-diuretic, DDVAP (analog of anti-diuretic, it reverses the resistance to anti-diuretic hormone because it is chemically modified to agonize the receptor with a much higher affinity) it also is used for prevention of bleeding, in patients with uremia or nocturia to prevent overnight urination. SE: hyponatremia, water intoxication, as well as headache, allergies |  |
