Renal response to an oral protein load in patients with central diabetes insipidus before and after treatment with vasopressin

Aim Different factors have been hypothesized to play a role in the cascade of events associated with the protein-induced glomerular response. However, scant data are available on the possible functional effect of vasopressin (VP) on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in humans with central diabetes insipidus (CDI), which was the aim of the present study.
