| Sumario: | This report describes the action of inhibitors of V2 receptors of arginine vasopressin in pretibial myxoedema. Most patients with hypothyroidism have decreased capacity to excrete solutes-free water and they fall to disrupt the urinary concentrating mechanism and therefore show a late excretion to water overcharge. Hypothyroidism associated to pretibial myxoedema is an autoimmune complication of hypothyroidism, and is accompanied by hyponatremia and increased serum concentration of vasopressin. In this article, three patients with pretibial myxoedema are reported, treated with daily sodic levothyroxine 0,1 mg and demeclocycline as inhibitors of V2 receptors of arginine vasopressin. The results obtained are presented. |
