Diabetes insipidus

Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2003
Diabetes insipidus is a heterogeneous condition characterized by polyuria and polydipsia caused by a lack of secretion of vasopressin, its physiological suppression following excessive water intake, or kidney resistance to its action. In many patients, it is caused by the destruction or degeneration of the neurons that originate in the supraoptic and ...

Diabetes insipidus

Baillière's Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1995
The advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of defects in the antidiuretic hormone, the V2 receptor and the water channel, owing to mutations in the prepro-AVP-NPII, AVPR2 and AQP2 genes respectively, is providing insight into inherited diabetes insipidus as well as the more numerous sporadic cases.

Diabetes insipidus

Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy, 2006
Water balance is precisely regulated by vasopressin, thirst and the kidneys; plasma osmolality is maintained within a narrow range, despite large variations in normal water intake and loss. Disruption of these finely balanced mechanisms is common, however, and can be precipitated by various disease states.

Aquaporins in Diabetes Insipidus

2023
Disruption of water and electrolyte balance is frequently encountered in clinical medicine. Regulating water metabolism is critically important. Diabetes insipidus (DI) presented with excessive water loss from the kidney is a major disorder of water metabolism.

Diabetes Insipidus

2011
Diabetes insipidus is characterized by polyuria, urine hypotonicity, and hypernatremia. Central diabetes insipidus results from a lack of antidiuretic hormone (ADH); nephrogenic diabetes insipidus results from renal insensitivity to ADH. In the intensive care unit (ICU), diabetes insipidus is most often caused by pituitary surgery, trauma, and brain ...
