Usenet FAQs Search Web FAQs ... RFC Index Is it OK to discuss diabetes insipidus here? What is it? Diabetes insipidus (DI) results from abnormalities in the production or use (two main types) of the hormone arginine vasopressin. The main symptoms are excessive thirst and massive urination. The excess urine flow is devoid of sugar. There are no blood glucose abnormalities, and in fact there is nothing in common with diabetes mellitus except the excess urination when untreated. Diabetes insipidus caused by failure to produce vasopressin. This is known as neurogenic DI (or central DI, or pituitary DI). It can be treated with hormone replacement (by nasal spray or other routes). DI caused by failure to use vasopressin (nephrogenic DI) is more difficult to treat, but several drugs are available which help. DI is much less common than diabetes mellitus, though a few people have discussed it on misc.health.diabetes

Chapters at Harrison's ABSTRACT Background Central diabetes insipidus is rare in children and young adults, and up to 50 percent of cases are idiopathic. The clinical presentation and the long-term course of this disorder are largely undefined. Methods We studied all 79 patients with central diabetes insipidus who were seen at four pediatric endocrinology units between 1970 and 1996. There were 37 male and 42 female patients whose median age at diagnosis was 7.0 years (range, 0.1 to 24.8). All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and periodic studies of anterior pituitary function. The median duration of follow-up was 7.6 years (range, 1.6 to 26.2). Results The causes of the central diabetes insipidus were Langerhans'-cell histiocytosis in 12 patients, an intracranial tumor in 18 patients, a skull fracture in 2 patients, and autoimmune polyendocrinopathy

The condition may be due to abnormality in the hypothalamus (hypothalamic diabetes insipidus), failure of antidiuretic hormone secretion by the pituitary (pituitary diabetes insipidus), or insensitivity of the renal tubules to antidiuretic hormone (nephrogenic diabetes insipidus). The imaging findings, at intravenous urography ( Fig.1 ), ultrasound, CT or MRI are those of nonspecific dilatation of the kidneys, ureters and bladder. The dilatation arises because the urinary volume exceeds the peristaltic capacity of the urinary tract. Ultimately, the kidneys may become damaged by increased hydrostatic pressure in the collecting systems, and this is evident radiologically as global parenchymal thinning.

Diabetes Clinic Endocrinology Endocrinologists Diabetes and Other Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders Diabetes Insipidus What is diabetes insipidus? Diabetes insipidus is a condition that results from insufficient production of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH), a hormone that helps the kidneys and body conserve the correct amount of water. Normally, the antidiuretic hormone controls the kidneys' output of urine. It is secreted by the hypothalamus (a small gland located at the base of the brain) and stored in the pituitary gland and then released into the bloodstream. ADH is secreted to decrease the amount of urine output so that dehydration does not occur. Diabetes insipidus, however, causes excessive production of very diluted urine and excessive thirst. The disease is categorized into groups: central diabetes insipidus - insufficient production or secretion of ADH; can be a result of damage to the pituitary gland caused by head injuries, genetic disorders, and other diseases. nephrogenic diabetes insipidus - lack of kidney response to normal levels of ADH: can be caused by drugs or chronic disorders, such as kidney failure, sickle cell disease, or polycystic kidney disease.

The atrial cardiopulmonary low-pressure baroreceptors are less sensitive than osmoreceptors, requiring a 5-10% decrease in blood volume before AVP is released. Severe hypovolemia, however, triggers the sino-aortic high-pressure baroreceptors to cause exponential increases in AVP, which may be high enough to exert a pressor effect. Interaction of osmo- and baroreceptors: A decrease in left atrial pressure (as in hypovolemia, hypotension) leads to a reduction of the osmotic threshold and increases the sensitivity for osmotic AVP release. Volume expansion dampens the sensitivity for osmotic AVP release.

Caroli syndrome is a congenital malformation characterized by multifocal dilatations of segmental bile ducts.1 These dilated portions form cysts of variable sizes separated by regularly dilated portions of the bile ducts. The distribution of these cysts may be diffuse, involving the whole intrahepatic biliary tree, or it may be localized in a part of the liver.1 The diffuse type is usually associated with congenital hepatic fibrosis,2 transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait and may also be associated with a renal malformation.3 The localized type is not associated with congenital hepatic fibrosis or renal malformations and is not inherited.2 It may be associated with choledochal cyst.4

How to Use the Information Search Ask an Expert ... Prevention Diabetes insipidus - nephrogenic Definition: Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is a disorder characterized by the passage of large volumes of urine due to a defect of the kidney tubules. See also diabetes insipidus-central Alternative Names: Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus; Acquired nephrogenic diabetes insipidus; Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Antidiuretic hormone ADH vasopressin ) is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus of the brain. It concentrates the urine by triggering the kidneys to reabsorb water into the blood stream rather than excreting water into the urine. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus involves a defect in the kidney tubules (the portion of the kidneys that causes water to be excreted or reabsorbed). The specific kidney defect is usually a partial or complete failure of special receptors located on or within the kidney tubules to respond to ADH, the hormone that transmits the instruction to concentrate the urine to the inside of the cells. Excessive amounts of water are excreted with the urine, producing a large quantity of very dilute urine. There is little or no response to vasopressin, even though the blood level of this hormone is higher than normal.
