    Monosymptomatic primary enuresis: differences between patients responding or not responding to oral desmopressin
    (Wiley, 1998) Roberto Rendón Medel; Stella M. Dieguez; M. Brindo; Sullivan A. Ayuso; C.A. Cánepa; ADOLFO RUARTE; Miguel Luis Podestá
    Polyuria occurred in all patients with MPE, independently of the response to desmopressin. Responders had the lowest AVP values over the 24 h; the morning AVP levels differentiated normal subjects from enuretic patients and responders from non-responders. In patients with MPE, clinically undetected bladder instability was unrelated to the results of treatment and there were no urodynamic changes during desmopressin treatment. The differences between enuretic patients suggested a different aetiology of MPE, probably related to an increase in PGE2 concentration and an antagonistic mechanism of action of AVP or desmopressin.
