Diabetes Insipidus

Aka: Diabetes Insipidus
  1. Subtypes
    1. Central Diabetes Insipidus
    2. Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus (most common)
  2. Pathophysiology
    1. Excessive constant water diuresis due to:
      1. Central Anti-Diuretic Hormone deficiency (ADH) or
      2. Lack of renal response to Anti-Diuretic Hormone
  3. Symptoms
    1. Polyuria
    2. Polydipsia
      1. Unquenchable thirst
  4. Differential Diagnosis
    1. Psychogenic polydipsia
  5. Labs
    1. Serum Osmolality
      1. Increased in both Nephrogenic DI and Central DI
    2. Urinalysis
      1. Urine Specific Gravity under 1.008
  6. Diagnosis
    1. Fluid Deprivation Test
      1. Water deprivation
        1. No response in Nephrogenic DI or Central DI
      2. Exogenous ADH administration
        1. Corrects Central DI
        2. Does not correct Nephrogenic DI
    2. Hare-Hickey Test
      1. Fluid restriction or Injection of hypertonic saline
      2. Measure ADH to Serum Osmolality ratio
        1. Decreased ratio in Central Diabetes Insipidus
        2. Increased ratio in Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
  7. Management
    1. Central Diabetes Insipidus
      1. See Central Diabetes Insipidus
    2. Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
      1. Remove provocative factors

Diabetes Insipidus (C0011848)

Definition (MSH) A disease that is characterized by frequent urination, excretion of large amounts of dilute URINE, and excessive THIRST. Etiologies of diabetes insipidus include deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (also known as ADH or VASOPRESSIN) secreted by the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS, impaired KIDNEY response to ADH, and impaired hypothalamic regulation of thirst.
Definition (NCI) A disorder characterized by excretion of large amounts of urine, accompanied by excessive thirst. Causes include deficiency of antidiuretic hormone or failure of the kidneys to respond to antidiuretic hormone. It may also be drug-related.
Definition (CHV) A disease that is characterized by frequent urination, excretion of large amounts of dilute URINE, and excessive THIRST.
Definition (MEDLINEPLUS)

Diabetes insipidus (DI) causes frequent urination. You become extremely thirsty, so you drink. Then you urinate. This cycle can keep you from sleeping or even make you wet the bed. Your body produces big volumes of urine that are almost all water.

DI is different from diabetes mellitus (DM), which involves insulin problems and high blood sugar. The symptoms can be similar; however, DI is related to how your kidneys handle fluids. It's much less common than DM. Urine and blood tests can show which one you have.

Usually, DI is caused by a problem with your pituitary gland or your kidneys. Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. Medicines can often help.
Definition (CSP) metabolic disorder due to injury of the neurohypophyseal system; results in deficient quanity of antidiuretic hormone being released or produced, failure of tubular reabsorption of water in the kidney.
