Cysts, vasopressin and JINARC

instructions
  1.  Place the tiles in an order that makes sense as a story.
  2.  Drag and drop the tiles into the appropriate box.
  3.  We have placed the first tile for you.

Whoops! Some of your tiles were out of order. The Correct order is In people with ADPKD, vasopressin levels are higher than normal. This high level of vasopressin promotes the ongoing cyst growth on the kidneys. JINARC works by blocking the effects of vasopressin. By blocking vasopressin, JINARC is able to reduce the growth of the cysts in the kidneys and is expected to help protect your kidneys from damage and failure. Because of the way JINARC works, you will produce more urine, causing you to urinate more frequently during the day and at night. This may become less pronounced over time.

  • A naturally occurring hormone known as vasopressin is involved in ADPKD. Vasopressin makes the kidneys retain water.

Whoops! Some of your tiles were out of order. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the kidneys, which can… …block parts of the kidneys and interfere with the kidneys’ ability to function properly. Over time, more cysts develop, individual cysts get bigger, and some may eventually burst. This is known as “disease progression.” The kidneys get larger and have a harder time doing their job. Eventually, they may stop working altogether.

Over time, cysts (sacs filled with fluid) develop on your kidneys and may get bigger. As cysts continue to grow in number and size, your kidneys get larger. Over time, you may experience symptoms of disease progression.
