Open Access Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of arginine-vasopressin AVP as a rescue therapy in catecholamine-refractory septic and non-septic shock in extremely low birth weight ELBW infants with acute renal injury. Methods Prospective assessment of AVP therapy in three ELBW infants with catecholamine-refractory septic shock and acute renal injury mean birth weight 600 30 g and three ELBW infants with non-septic shock and acute renal injury mean birth weight 770 110 g at a University hospital. The main outcome measures were restoration of blood pressure with adequate organ perfusion and survival at discharge. Results In all three ELBW infants with catecholamine-resistant septic shock systemic arterial blood pressure increased substantively with restoration of urine output after AVP administration dosage to U kg h length 70 21 hours . In the three ELBW infants with non-septic shock only a transient stabilization in mean arterial
