#Tolvaptan
Our topic:
Use of dapagliflozin (SGLT2 inhibitor) in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) concurrently on tolvaptan therapy. There are no conflicts of interest.

Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled, Crossover Trial on the Effect of Dapagliflozin in Patients With ADPKD Receiving Tolvaptan
Although dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, delays the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), its effect on patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney dis...

www.jacc.org/doi/abs/10.1... I think the take home message here is "give more diuretics" but good to recap the different modalities, and I wonder if I under use tolvaptan?

7/ Little data exists for those with CKD stage 5. How do you think tolvaptan will fare in such a population? We hope this article provides some answers!

Real-world data from 2 US centers show that 27% of ADPKD patients discontinued tolvaptan—10% due to aquaretic side effects. Most stayed on lower doses than in trials. Tolerability remains a major barrier, especially for women. Better strategies needed. #ADPKD #Tolvaptan

This week, we break down three major nephrology studies:
✅ Obinutuzumab’s role in lupus nephritis
✅ Best phosphate binders for dialysis patients
✅ Long-term effects of tolvaptan in ADPKD

Tolvaptan-chan is a diuretic that originated in Japan. She has the effect of draining only water out of the body and calls herself “only waterdrop-dead gorgeous".

I have a patient on tolvaptan for ADPKD. He is on 90 mg a day! Holy Sh*t that's a lot of tolvaptan.

Can't believe his sodium is only 137.

Sometimes they’ll even instruct you to try a medication that does the exact opposite of the one that was prescribed to you, for instance denying tolvaptan (inhibits ADH, *very expensive*) and insisting you try and fail Desmopressin (synthetic form of ADH, very cheap) first.

6/ Intro
💡 Vasopressin has been implicated in cyst enlargement and kidney deterioration
💡 Multiple RCTs (TEMPO 3:4 and REPRISE) have found tolvaptan, a vasopressin receptor antagonist, to be effective in blunting kidney decline in CKD stage 4 and lower.

Pt w/ undifferentiated cancer and severe SIADH - initial Na 117. Successful improvement with HTS. Despite fluid restriction, urea, diuretics, Na kept falling. Start tolvaptan and it works like a charm! Nothing made her happier than liberating her fluid restriction. #tolvaptanfan
