Diabetes Insipidus Diabetes Insipidus Types Signs ... References What is Diabetes Insipidus? Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disorder of water balance. The animal is unable to concentrate urine, so the urine volume is very high and the urine is dilute. "Insipid" means tasteless referring to the dilute urine. This disease is rare in both dogs and cats. The condition is usually permanent, and the prognosis is good. Without treatment, dehydration leads to stupor, coma, and death. This is a completely different disease from Diabetes Mellitus (DM), a disorder of sugar metabolism involving the hormone insulin. We include the information here because people are often looking for resources and we had some owners of pets with DM who also have experience with DI. Types of diabetes insipidus Central Diabetes Insipidus - caused when the pituitary gland does not secrete enough antidiuretic hormone (ADH) [also called vasopressin]. This type of DI may be the caused by a congenital defect, trauma, a tumor on the pituitary gland, or unknown causes. Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus - caused when the kidneys do not respond to the ADH that is produced by the pituitary gland. This type of DI may be caused by a congenital defect, drugs, or caused by other metabolic disorders

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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). ADH is a hormone produced in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus. It 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

These four forms are: (1) Neurogenic, also known as central, hypothalamic, pituitary or neurohypophyseal is caused by deficiency of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin; (2) Nephrogenic, also known as vasopressin-resistant is caused by insensitivity of the kidneys to the effect of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin; (3) Gestagenic, also known as gestational is also caused by a deficiency of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin, that occurs only during pregnancy; and (4) Dipsogenic, a form of primary polydipsia is caused by abnormal thirst and the excessive intake of water or other liquids. The main goal of The Diabetes Insipidus Foundation, Inc. is improved treatment, and ultimately the prevention and cure of all forms of diabetes insipidus through research. It seeks to promote a greater public awareness and understanding of the disease and will serve patients and their families with informational material and through the quarterly publication of Endless Water. Finally, it seeks to promote Diabetes Insipidus as "A DiFferent Diabetes" so that people will know that there is another diabetes.

General Illness Information Common Name: Diabetes Insipidus Medical Term: Description: A rare disorder, resulting in excessive thirst and excessive passage of very dilute urine, due to a hormone deficiency in the pituitary gland, which is situated at the base of the brain. Diabetes Insipidus results from a decreased production of antidiuretic hormone ( vasopressin) , the hormone that normally prevents the kidney from producing too much urine. Antidiuretic hormone is produced in the hypothalamus, then stored and released in the blood stream by the posterior pituitary. Diabetes insipidus may also occur with normal levels of antidiuretic hormone, when the kidneys do not respond normally to the hormone. This condition is called nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Causes: Diabetes Insipidus may have several causes which are as follows: Tumor of the pituitary gland;

Main htmlAdWH('7002568', '234', '60'); DIARD HOME PAGE THE DIABETES INSIPIDUS AND RELATED DISORDERS network is for persons who have, or care for someone with ,any form of Diabetes Insipidus disorder. The main purpose of this network is to offer support for those surrounded by lack of information on these rare disorders. DEFINITION DI is defined as a condition in which urine is not concentrated (urine is dilute or water-like). Concentration of urine in normally functioning individuals is the consequence of secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) by the posterior pituitary gland in the brain, and a corresponding reaction by receptors on the kidneys. ADH tells the kidneys how much water to keep in the body and how much water to eliminate as urine. There are at least two separate types of DI. In Central Diabetes Insipidus (CDI, also known as Vasopressin-sensitive DI), the pituitary gland fails to produce ADH. In Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus (NDI, also known as "antidiuretic hormone" or Vasopressin-resistant DI), the pituitary gland may be secreting ADH, but the kidneys fail to react to it. The treatments for either of these root causes are entirely different. The basic symptoms for both disorders are however the same and generally include: Persistent thirst, drinking large amounts of fluids, and urinating frequently

While the symptoms of these two disorders are similar, the causes are different. Central diabetes insipidus If you have been diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus, there are some things you should know about how the disorder is caused and what you and your doctor can do about it. What causes it? In central diabetes insipidus, the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin is either missing or present at a low level. This low level or lack of vasopressin is due to a malfunction in the part of your brain, the posterior pituitary gland, which releases the hormone into your blood-stream. Tumour of the pituitary gland. Head injury, with damage to pituitary gland.

Some patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) develop loss of control of water balance through a deficiency or lack of a hormone, vasopressin. The disorder is called "diabetes insipidus." Areas in the middle of the brain secrete this antidiuretic hormone that is then stored in the pituitary gland. In most cases, the portion of the brain that secretes this hormone or the pituitary, which stores the antidiuretic hormone, has been damaged by the presence of histiocytes. The hormone is necessary to maintain a proper water balance within the body's cells and blood. How does diabetes insipidus affect the body?

Disorder-Specific Survival Kit: Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus Information about NDI The cause of NDI Other types of diabetes insipidus Management of NDI ... Selected Medical and Scientific References Information about NDI Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a disorder characterized by an inability of the kidneys to remove water from the urine. The main symptoms of NDI are excessive thirst (polydipsia) and excretion of large amounts of watery urine (polyuria). Individuals with NDI must drink large amounts of water to compensate for the loss of water in the urine. As a result, a person with NDI must urinate more frequently than usual. The Cause of NDI NDI is caused by an inability of a water-saving hormone to work properly in the kidneys. A hormone is a natural chemical made by the body that works in a different part of the body than where it was made. The hormone involved in NDI is called antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin. Making ADH is one of the mechanisms which help keep water balance normal in the body. Usually, ADH allows the kidneys to save water that would otherwise be lost in the urine. The kidneys are the organs that make urine and help control the balance of water, salt, and other natural substances in the body. ADH is made by the pituitary gland, a small organ at the base of the brain that makes many different hormones. ADH is released into the blood stream where it travels to the kidneys. The amount of ADH made by the pituitary gland depends on the body's water needs. The more water the body needs, the greater the amount of ADH made by the pituitary gland. Only when there is plenty of water does the pituitary gland make less ADH.

Back to Health Home Back to Endocrine Diabetes Insipidus: The Other Diabetes By Susan Thorpe-Vargas, Ph.D. A disease that many people have never heard of may be indirectly causing canine deaths. Not only is the disease dangerous in itself, but the primary symptoms include a behavior that could be perceived, or misinterpreted by owners, trainers and veterinarians, as purposefully destructive, and which figures prominently in the statistics of animals turned over to dog pounds and to veterinarians for euthanasia. The behavior we are referring to is the need for frequent urination. Seldom do owners and veterinarians search for potential medical problems that might contribute to house soiling behaviors. And, if they do, seldom are those searches for medical causes of inappropriate elimination practices complete. At least a quarter of all dogs euthanized or turned into shelters are given up because of behavior related issues. Near the top of the list of reasons for euthanasia and being turned into shelters is house soiling. Therefore, whenever an inappropriate elimination behavior develops, look first for an underlying medical condition before starting training or behavior modification exercises. While diabetes insipidus (DI) is less common than its better-known form, diabetes mellitus, it is probably an under-reported disease as it shares symptoms with other more common diseases including diabetes mellitus. The disease can also go unnoticed if the dog has a constant supply of water and has access to an outdoor run or a doggy door so that his excessive elimination needs do not require human intervention. Nonetheless, the disease is dangerous, and severe dehydration can occur very rapidly (4-6 hours). Leaving a DI dog unattended without water for several hours or overnight may result in severe hyperosmolality, coma, and death.

Medfødt nefrogen diabetes insipidus Sjælden arvelig sygdom, der oftest er kønsbunden og derfor oftest rammer drenge. Sygdommen skyldes en af flere mulige fejl i et gen, der styrer vandoptagelsen i nyrerne, således at der udskilles store mængder tynd urin. Symptomerne viser sig kort efter fødslen eller i spædbarnsalderen ved øget vandladning og tørst. Væskemangel (dehydrering) kan være livstruende. Man skal sørge for at børn får rigeligt med væske, f.eks. ved at tilbyde dem vand hver 2. time døgnet rundt. Vandudskillelsen kan mindskes med nedsat saltindtagelse og særlig medicin. Prognosen er god. Kilde: Medicinsk Kompendium, 15. udg., side 2064-2065.
