ddavp for hemophilia

I have Hepatitis C with Hemophilia-a. I was wondering if I should be taking Centrum Silver? This is the only Centrum that does not have Iron. I was taking regular Centrum that did have iron while I was on treatment. Also are there any other good vitamin supplements?

How do you wean off the medicine DDAVP? I've been taking this medicine for many years only to find out my tests say I don't need it (I had small injury to pituitary in brain). Unfortunately I find it almost impossible to wean off because it makes you go to the bathroom ALOT after the medicine ware's off! since it's an anti diuretic/water retaining pill! Confusing and tricky.

DDAVP, Stimate, Minirin) is a synthetic replacement for vasopressin, the hormone that reduces urine production. It may be taken nasally, or as a tablet. Lack of the hormone vasopressin is more common in men than in women. Typically, those that do not produce enough will "correct" by the end of puberty (19-25 years old for men). Check with your urologist about the possibility of this treatment. Best of luck.

Tests like bleeding time, clotting time, Vit K level, platelet count etc would need to be carried out. Also specialized tests like that for clotting factor deficiency, thalasemmia, hemophilia, liver diseases (by liver function tests) etc will need to be done. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral to aa hematologist. Take care!

Hemophilia, another bleeding disorder, causes missing or defective factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B). Both of these proteins are important for blood clotting. Synthetic versions of these clotting factors can help treat hemophilia and reduce the risk of serious bleeding, including severe bruises. When a genetic bleeding disorder causes easy bruising, it is also possible that the person may bleed to excess or even experience life-threatening hemorrhages.

My question is I have asked her endocrinologist to prescribe DDAVP for her to take during several camps she has this summer. He will not because of a chance she could have a seizure. I can't remember the exact reason but it does have to do with her diabetes and how DDAVP interact in a diabetic's body. He said the chance is very low, but possible. Could you give me your thoughts on a Type 1 diabetic using DDAVP.

ve already had one surgery for a CSF leak and am going back to California in May for another round of testing to see if it has come back and they can pinpoint it- I dunno if you have this though just throwing it out at you since you are in the process of being diagnosed. Hope you feel better.

How long did it take for your diabetes insipidus to resolve? how long did it take for your doctor to prescribe testosterone? My endo refuses to prescribed the testosterone as he says that should recover by itself, however I am exhausted all day. I am on ddavp (sublingual pill) and 10mg of prednisone.

m assuming youre on something for your hemophilia? If not I know they can give you a clotting agent. Just get on either you or your partner doing the perineum massages..

I don’t take it regularly because I find it hard for me to balance out between hypo and hyper. I become tired with it. I always try to minimize stress as much as possible, laugh as much as possible, because I know stress make this disease worse and I’ve experienced it quite well if I got stressed out. Is it right that hormone insufficiencies can only be noticeable or come into effect sometime later.

t see me until I saw a hematologist/hemophilia center for a hereditary disorder I have. Saw the hematologist. They want mri's of my lungs and brain to rule out a bleed, and a bubble echo to rule out a hole in my heart (can happen with my disorder). They want to do all of this with the mf specialist appointment in one day. #1 I have to travel 2 hours to this place. #2 because I get so exhausted so fast they thought getting it done all at once would be easier.

We have a 7 year old colllie just diagnosed with Diabetes Insipetes (nephrogenic). Vet recommends treatment with ddavp eye drop. All the information we can find says that this is "very expensive". Can you give us a ballpark of what this actually means for annual cost of care? What are the implications of leaving this untreated if she has on going access to fresh clean water?

Hello~First, your friend needs to be examined by the GP, there could be some reasons for this such as Diabetes, urinary track issues, infections, or other issues with the kidneys and/or bladder. There is a drug called Desmopressin (DDAVP) it reduces urine production at night. But drinking too much liquid with the medication can cause problems, and Desmopressin should be avoided if you have symptoms such as a fever, diarrhea or nausea.

The tumor was germinoma. Yes u are right it was the optic nerve. I don't know for sure if my pituitary gland still functions I take ddavp, I also took growth hormones in the past and I take l cortef. But I'm not sure. Thanks so much I have a docs visit soon and Ill ask him more about my tumor. Thanks again for your help. And about the scar tissue he wants another MRI and then him and other docs will decide to do a biopsy or something els.

My name is bowman I have a bleeding disorder kinow as Hemophilia witch targets the joints ie, knee ankle etc...I have had so many surgeries I lose count. It is sad how easy it is to get pain killers from GP;s, I recently had my lower leg removed do to infection mostluy bone and my artificial joint was removed. i WAS ON MS 40 MG CODONE ,, ENDOCET 10 PER DAY, AS WELL AS A 75MC fYNTANYL PATCH.

I have used a nasal spray (DDAVP) for three weeks, but the bleeding did not stop. I tried doubling up on the nasal spray since I was prescribed the wrong strength, but it did not help. I had my second Depo Provera shot on December 7. I thought it would help make the bleeding stop, but I am still bleeding. I have also tried a estrogen pill I was prescribed, but it has not helped. I know I will have light bleeding on the Depo Provera, but is it normal to be bleeding for 37 days?

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced diabetes insipidus? The reason for the test is because I have been extremely thirsty and urinating almost every 1.5 hours a day. I received a copy of the test results. They tested my ADH level (arginine vasopressin) The results are L<1.0 Range:1.0-13.3 They say there are different types of diabetes insipidus, basically that the kidneys are doing what they are supposed to do or a pituitary issue.

Anyway my doctor did my treatment weird. I was go in once a month for blood work and keep taking my meds for 12 months. Anyway he would email me the results with details. At first, the 3 months i was still positive. The boom I was negative. Stayed that way till this week. Just finished treatment been negative for 9 months. It has been hell. Especially coming off the meds. Anyway finally told the wife and close family only. The dont understand either.

This has been a long time coming. Thank you for posting this article. Hopefully, in the near future they will do the same for Hemophiliia A. My son and brother had Hemophlia A. My son was in phase one and two of the gene therapy trial years ago. Eureka is right this can open many doors for other diseases as well.

These conditions include hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and pigmented villonodular synovitis. All of these conditions all blood to accumulate within the joint causing swelling and pain. Several conditions can cause bleeding within a joint leading to joint inflammation, or arthritis. I did't believe his words,after that I go through google and found a review site "joint health magazine". This site clarified all of my doubts.

I had so many obstacles (HIV, cirrhosis, hemophilia, low platelets, chronic nausea, 35 lb weight loss, a painful kidney stone, and an unsupportive spouse soon to be an ex spouse). I only missed a handful of workdays mostly for appts. For some reason the last week was the hardest side effect wise. Wish you all healthy and happy futures. I'll check in from time to time.

You should be in the hands of a pediatric endocrinologist for her care, let them decide about the ddavp, this may be masking or exacerbating some of her symptoms.

ive never went this much during the night..i had to go get on some meds called ddavp to slow it down so i can sleep..

5 years old beautiful and full of joy English Setter Mia from the Rescue Shelter. After having her for a few days, we discovered that she has urine incontinence and often leaking while resting or sleeping. She is also unreasonably consuming allot of water, just like she has run for a long time.

Please get an opinion from an oncologist, another one, if you've already seen one as one of your three doctors. http://www.colorectal-cancer.ca/en/just-the-facts/symptoms/ Do it soon, please, and good luck!
