DDAVP-induced increases in coagulation factor VIII and von Willebrand factor in the plasma of conscious dogs.

Infusion of the vasopressin analogue DDAVP into five normal dogs at doses of 0.1-2.0 micrograms DDAVP per kg body weight induced dose-dependent increases in the plasma content of coagulation factor VIII and von Willebrand factor. Plasma concentrations of von Willebrand factor (determined antigenically as factor VIII-related antigen and functionally as coagglutinin cofactor activity) and coagulation factor VIII were measured immediately before and at 10, 30, and 120 min after 10-min intravenous infusions of DDAVP. The greatest increases in coagulation factor VIII were produced with the 2.0 micrograms/kg dose. Ten minutes after infusion the mean increase in coagulation factor VIII was 32 units/dl (concentrations of all indices were reported relative to concentrations in a standard canine plasma pool, arbitrarily assigned a concentration of 100 units/dl) and this increase did not change significantly throughout the duration of the experiment. At 10 min post-infusion, the mean factor VIII-related antigen concentration increased 81 units/dl (dose = 2.0 micrograms/kg) and did not change significantly for the duration of the experiment. The maximum mean increase in coagglutinin cofactor activity, 141 units/dl, occurred 10 min after infusion (dose = 1.0 microgram/kg). Coagglutinin cofactor activity decreased significantly from peak activity by 120 min post-infusion.
