Original Title:
Tolvaptan en poliquistosis renal autosómica dominante
Authors' recommendations:
Moderate-quality evidence suggests that the use of tolvaptan (vasopressin antagonist) in adult patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease with rapid progression of kidney growth might delay this growth associated with cysts and subsequent kidney function worsening. However, most of the patients receiving the drug experience common side effects, such as aquaresis (increase in water clearance), polyuria, nicturia, thirst, polydipsia, dry mouth, diarrhea and fatigue, and other less common ones, such as hepatotoxicity.
