Abstract | BACKGROUND: A newly-developed vasopressin type 2 receptor antagonist, tolvaptan (TLV), has a unique feature of diuresis, but the response to this drug can be unpredictable. METHODS AND RESULTS: Data were collected from hospitalized patients with decompensated congestive heart failure who were administered TLV at 3.75-15 mg/day (n=61). A responder/non-responder to TLV was determined as having any increase/decrease in urine volume (UV) during the next 24h after TLV treatment on the first day. Logistic regression analyses for increases in UV were performed, and independent predictors of the responder were the following: C1, baseline urine osmolality (U-OSM) >352 mOsm/L; and C2, %decrease in U-OSM >26% at 4-6h after TLV administration. Criteria consisting of C1 and C2 had a good predictability for responders by receiver-operating characteristic analysis (area under the curve=0.960). Kidneys of the non-responders no longer had diluting ability (%decrease of U-OSM at 4-6h=2.7 ± 14.6%*), but also barely kept concentrating ability (baseline U-OSM=296.4 ± 68.7*mOsm/L) with markedly reduced estimated glomerular filtration ratio (35.5 ± 29.4 m l · min(-1) · 1.73 m(-2)*) (*P<0.05 vs. patients who had at least 1 positive condition [n=42]). CONCLUSIONS:
