Question

question 7 of 10
which of the following medications is used in the treatment of arginine vasopressin deficiency (previously known as diabetes insipidus) to control fluid balance?

• ibuprofen
• desmopressin (ddavp)
• diabinese
• thiazide diuretics

Explanation:

To determine the correct medication for arginine vasopressin deficiency (diabetes insipidus) to control fluid balance, we analyze each option:

• Ibuprofen is a non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for pain and inflammation, not for fluid balance in diabetes insipidus.
• Desmopressin (DDAVP) is a synthetic analog of vasopressin. In cases of arginine vasopressin deficiency, it can replace the missing vasopressin and help control fluid balance by reducing urine output.
• Diabinese (chlorpropamide) is an oral hypoglycemic agent used for type 2 diabetes, not for diabetes insipidus.
• Thiazide diuretics are used to increase urine output (diuresis) and are not used to treat diabetes insipidus by controlling fluid balance in the same way as DDAVP.

Answer:

B. Desmopressin (DDAVP)
