Endocrine Glands 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.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Diabetes insipidus Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition 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. Description 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.

For further information why not contact; What is cranial Diabetes Insipidus (DI)? It is a disease characterised by the passing excessive amount of urine due to the under production of Anti Diuretic Hormone (ADH), which is produced by the HYPOTHALAMUS and is stored and released by the PITUITARY. What is the Hypothalamus? It is a part of the brain, which control the functions of the pituitary gland. What is the pituitary? It is a small pea size gland situated in a hollow bony pouch, at the base of the brain, at the back of the bridge of the nose. It is the master gland of the endocrine system and controls the functions of the other endocrine glands. What is Anti Diuretic Hormone and what are the functions? This hormone controls and regulates the fluid balance of the body. It is produced by the HYPOTHALAMUS and is stored and released by the PITUITARY. When released into the blood circulation it travels to the kidneys. You have two kidneys which cleanse one cup volume of fluid (150mls) each minute. ADH makes the kidneys reabsorb the fluid passing through the kidneys. Without ADH you would pass plenty of urine day and night as the kidneys have to rely on other systems to try and reabsorb fluid but these are not as effective as ADH What symptoms does the patient have with DI?

Diabetes insipidus P.E. Mullis, K. Scheidegger und Ch. Schmid pharma-kritik Jahrgang 21, Nr.03 Redaktionsschluss: 16. November 1999 Einleitung Physiologie Diagnostik Therapie ... Links 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.

What is Diabetes insipidus? What is diabetes insipidus and how does it differ from diabetes mellitus? How is it diagnosed and treated? Diabetes Insipidus is a disorder that is characterized by intense thirst and a greatly increased output of diluted urine. In diabetes insipidus you are either producing too little of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or it is that your kidneys are not responding normally to the output of ADH. Most people develop diabetes insipidus in early childhood or early adulthood. It is commonly found in more males than females. It has a tendency to develop after surgery, illness or a major head injury. Urination is frequently increased causing you to crave liquids, especially cold water, in great quantities. If you are unable to keep up with your body's demand for liquids or if an accident or illness prevents you from drinking sufficient quantities, you may become dehydrated. Patients with diabtetes insipidus may need to urinate every 30 minutes to an hour throughout the day and night. bodyOffer(28446) Diabetes insipidus is not related to Diabetes Mellitus (which is the bodies inability to regulate insulin). In Diabetes Mellitus the body has trouble using insulin to turn sugar into energy.

Stemming the flow 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. Not enough or ineffective 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. Constantly thirsty and passing water 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.
