PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a nucleic acid, a composition and a kit for predicting a subject response to one or more vasopressin receptor agonist treatments in order to identify a subject who will greatly benefit from vasopressin receptor agonist treatments . In a method for obtaining (determining) a prognosis for a subject having or at risk of developing an inflammatory condition, the method comprises one or more polymorphisms in the vasopressin pathway gene sequence (s) of the subject. The genotype, including determining (determining) the genotype of the subject containing a type site or a combination thereof, indicates the likelihood that the subject will recover from the inflammatory condition.
