Extractions: Resources Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disorder that causes the patient to produce tremendous quantities of urine. The massively increased urine output is usually accompanied by intense thirst. The balance of fluid within the body is maintained through a number of mechanisms. One important chemical involved in fluid balance is called antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH is produced by the pituitary, a small gland located at the base of the brain. In a healthy person and under normal conditions, ADH is continuously released. ADH influences the amount of fluid that the kidneys reabsorb into the circulatory system and the amount of fluid that the kidneys pass out of the body in the form of urine. Production of ADH is regulated by the osmolality of the circulating blood. Osmolality refers to the concentration of dissolved chemicals (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride; together called solute) circulating in the fluid base of the blood (plasma). When there is very little fluid compared to the concentration of solute, the pituitary will increase ADH production. This tells the kidneys to retain more water and to decrease the amount of urine produced. As fluid is retained, the concentration of solute will normalize. At other times, when the fluid content of the blood is high in comparison to the concentration of solute, ADH production will decrease. The kidneys are then free to pass an increased amount of fluid out of the body in the urine. Again, this will allow the plasma osmolality to return to normal.

[J Am Board Fam Pract 12(6):489-491, 1999. © 1999 American Board of Family Practice] Introduction Urinary frequency during pregnancy is common. The most common causes are compression of the urinary bladder by the gravid uterus, urinary tract infections, and hyperglycemia. Diabetes insipidus is an unusual cause of urinary frequency during pregnancy but should be considered when patients frequently void large volumes of urine. Diabetes insipidus can be a preexisting disease (clinically overt or subclinical) or can be associated with pregnancy as a result of excessive placental vasopressinase activity. We describe a case of diabetes insipidus that was not diagnosed until the postpartum period and review the pertinent literature. Case Report A 17-year-old woman was involved in a motor vehicle accident that resulted in closed-head trauma, intracerebral hemorrhage, and coma. At the same time she was found to be 16-weeks pregnant. Her mental status improved, and she underwent extensive rehabilitation. Her prenatal course was unremarkable, though she complained of polydipsia, polyuria, and nocturia. Her glucose tolerance test and urinalysis were both normal, and these symptoms were attributed to her pregnancy.

Extractions: Important notice Ency. home Disease D Diabetes insipidus Overview Symptoms Treatment Definition: A condition caused by the inability of the kidneys to conserve water that leads to frequent urination and pronounced thirst. Causes and Risks Diabetes insipidus (DI) is an uncommon condition that occurs when the kidneys are unable to conserve water as they perform their function of filtering blood. The amount of water conserved is controlled by antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also called vasopressin). It is a hormone produced in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus. ADH is then stored and released from the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain. DI caused by a lack of ADH is called central diabetes insipidus. When DI is caused by failure of the kidneys to respond to ADH, the condition is called nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. The major symptoms of diabetes insipidus are excessive urination and extreme thirst. The sensation of thirst stimulates patients to drink large amounts of water to compensate for water lost in the urine. Central diabetes insipidus is caused by damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland as a result of surgery, infection

Extractions: Verify here Diabetes Over View Although most people would have heard of diabetes mellitus or 'sugar diabetes' few would have come across the condition called diabetes insipidus. Part of their names may be the same, but any similarity between the two stops here since diabetes insipidus is a completely different and unrelated condition. Many different hormones help to control metabolic activities within the body. One of these is called anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) and its function is to help control the balance of water in the body. It does this by regulating the production of urine. ADH is produced by the hypothalamus and then stored in the pituitary gland until it's needed. When diabetes insipidus (DI) exists the body either doesn't produce enough ADH or it doesn't respond correctly to the effects of ADH. Someone with DI passes excessive amounts of urine and in a twenty-four hour period over three litres may be passed. They are always thirsty and find themselves drinking almost constantly. Disturbed sleep and disturbed daytimes are the consequence of having to pass water so frequently. In fact, throughout the day and night someone with DI may need to pass water every fifteen to twenty minutes. Dehydration is common when DI is not recognised or treated causing the level of sodium in the blood to be too high. This in turn causes tiredness, lethargy, confusion, and the risk of fits and coma.

Extractions: Einleitung Klagt ein Patient über Zunahme der Harnausscheidung und vermehrten Durst, so denken wir eher an einen Diabetes mellitus als an einen Diabetes insipidus. Tatsächlich ist der Diabetes insipidus mit einer Prävalenz von 3/100'000 eine seltene Erkrankung, seine Leitsymptome Polyurie (Urinvolumen von über 3 Litern oder 50 ml/kg Körpergewicht pro 24 Stunden), Polydipsie (Trinkmenge von über 3,5 Litern pro 24 Stunden), Nykturie und - bei Kindern - Enuresis nocturna können jedoch die Lebensqualität stark beeinträchtigen. Es ist äusserst unangenehm, die Arbeit und den Schlaf mit Gängen auf die Toilette immer wieder unterbrechen zu müssen. Bei Diabetes insipidus besteht ein Missverhältnis zwischen hoher Serum-Osmolalität und niedriger Urin-Osmolalität , weil die Nieren nicht oder nur in ungenügendem Masse fähig sind, den Urin durch Wasserrückresorption zu konzentrieren. Die Osmolalität, definiert als molare Menge aller osmotisch wirksamen Teilchen pro Kilogramm Wasser, ist der beste Parameter zur Beurteilung des Wasserhaushaltes. Wenn keine signifikante Hyperglykämie oder Azotämie vorliegt, so besteht ein direkt proportionales Verhältnis zwischen der Serum-Osmolalität und der Serum-Natriumkonzentration. Diese ist somit in den meisten Fällen ebenfalls aussagekräftig.

Extractions: Background This rare metabolic condition has classically been divided into four types: Neurogenic Central, hypothalamic, pituitary or neurohypophyseal is caused by a deficiency of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin. Nephrogenic Vasopressin-resistant is caused by insensitivity of the kidneys to the effect of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin Gestagenic Gestational is also caused by a deficiency of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin, that occurs only during pregnancy. Dipsogenic A form of primary polydipsia is caused by abnormal thirst and the excessive intake of water or other liquids.
