Tigger's Diabetes Insipidus Story
Personal account of this dog's diagnosis and treatment.
http://brindleweb.com/pets/tigdi.html

Extractions: written by brindle Tigger has always seemed like he needed to drink and pee a lot. I was worried about this right from "Day One" when we brought him home from the SPCA and noticed how much he drank. I mentioned to the vet on his very first vet visit about 3 days after we got him - but the vet said not to worry, it was just because of the hot weather. I was still uneasy though. It made him very hard to housetrain and really tried our patience during those first few weeks. He needed to go out almost every 15 minutes or so!! And he just guzzled water. But we learned to sort of manage it so that was that. It was definitely a whole change of lifestyle because no matter what I was doing, I was thinking, "When was Tigger out last? Did I just see him head towards the door? Did I hear him drink any water lately?" However, I got really worried when he starting having "accidents" IN HIS SLEEP. ie, he would not get up, whimper or anything at all, just leave a wet puddle behind afterwards. This worried me since I had read about other dogs having Urinary Tract Infections and having similar symptoms. After it happened about 3 times, we took him to the vet. He said there was no infection. So he got us to do "water deprivation tests" where we didn't give Tig any water for 10 hours or so and then get a urine sample. (We did it over night so it wasn't so hard on him, it just meant I would cut off his water earlier in the evening). Anyway, after doing these tests it seemed that no matter how little water Tigger drank, his urine was still about the same concentration (quite dilute). That meant that Tigger

Extractions: Email To A Friend Home : Diabetes Insipidus On this page: Diabetes insipidus (DI) is characterized by excretion of large amounts of dilute urine, which disrupts your body's water regulation. To make up for lost water, you may feel the need to drink large amounts of water. You are likely to urinate frequently, even at night, which can disrupt sleep or, on occasion, cause bedwetting. Because of the excretion of abnormally large volumes of dilute urine, you may quickly become dehydrated if you do not drink enough water. Children with DI may be irritable or listless and, in some cases, may have fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. In its clinically significant forms, it is a rare disease. Top DI should not be confused with diabetes mellitus, which results from insulin deficiency or resistance leading to high blood glucose. Diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus are unrelated, although they can have similar signs and symptoms, like excessive thirst and excessive urination.

About Lithium NDI
Specific information and case examples about this potential adverse side effect.
http://diabetesinsipidus.maxinter.net/about.htm

Extractions: About Lithium NDI by Dr. David Marples, Department of Physiology, University of Leeds, England L ithium is often given to patients with manic-depressive disorder (also sometimes called bipolar depression). It is usually very effective in such conditions, but can be toxic if the dose is not carefully monitored and controlled. Lithium can have a number of side effects, of which the most prominent are increased drinking (polydipsia) and increased urine production (polyuria). These occur because lithium interferes with the way the kidney responds to the hormone ADH, which normally controls our urine production.This makes it an acquired form of nephrogenic (kidney-related) diabetes insipidus (NDI). U p to half of patients on lithium notice that they drink and urinate more. In around 1/5 of patients, this increase is enough to be quite troublesome, and occasionally it is very severe: in extreme cases it can be as bad as in inherited forms of NDI. T he situation is complicated by the fact that many psychiatric patients drink more than they need anyway - so-called psychogenic polydipsia - which of course also increases urine production. Therefore it is not always easy to know if the changes are due to the lithium treatment or not. T he effect is dose related, but the dose really has to be determined by what is needed to manage the manic depression for which the drug is given. (The blood levels of lithium are closely monitored because it is easy to get into the toxic range, which can be fatal, because of effects on the brain. This is more important than NDI).

What Is Diabetes Insipidus?
What Is diabetes insipidus? diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disorder in which thereis an abnormal increase in urine output, fluid intake and often thirst.
http://www.diabetesinsipidus.org/whatisdi.htm

Extractions: What Is Diabetes Insipidus? by Gary L. Robertson, M.D., Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois, USA *D iabetes Insipidus (DI) is a disorder in which there is an abnormal increase in urine output, fluid intake and often thirst. It causes symptoms such as urinary frequency, nocturia (frequent awakening at night to urinate) or enuresis (involuntary urination during sleep or "bedwetting"). Urine output is increased because it is not concentrated normally. Consequently, instead of being a yellow color, the urine is pale, colorless or watery in appearance and the measured concentration (osmolality or specific gravity) is low. *D iabetes Insipidus is not the same as diabetes mellitus ("sugar" diabetes). Diabetes Insipidus resembles diabetes mellitus because the symptoms of both diseases are increased urination and thirst. However, in every other respect, including the causes and treatment of the disorders, the diseases are completely unrelated. Sometimes diabetes insipidus is referred to as "water" diabetes to distinguish it from the more common diabetes mellitus or "sugar" diabetes. *D iabetes Insipidus is divided into four types, each of which has a different cause and must be treated differently. The most common type of DI is caused by a lack of vasopressin, a hormone that normally acts upon the kidney to reduce urine output by increasing the concentration of the urine. This type of DI is usually due to the destruction of the back or "posterior" part of the pituitary gland where vasopressin is normally produced. Hence, it is commonly called

http://www.vetinfo.com/dencyclopedia/dedibetinsp.html

Extractions: Diabetes Insipidus Diabetes insipidus is a disorder in which the kidney is insensitive to a hormone, called anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) or in which there is not sufficient quantity of this hormone available. The result is excessive drinking and urination, or polydipsia and polyuria. This is one cause of changes in urinary habits that leads to problems with urination inside the house in dogs in which "housebreaking" seemed to be satisfactory prior to the disease onset. ADH is secreted by the body when it has a need to conserve water. It makes the kidneys work harder to conserve water, which makes the urine more concentrated. When the dog can not respond to this hormone or doesn't make enough of it, the dog can not concentrate its urine. This can lead to serious problems, including death, if the dog does not have access to large quantities of water. On the other hand, it may not cause any significant problem if there is always plenty of water available. This problem can occur for a number of reasons and for no reason at all. Examples of predisposing causes are kidney failure, hyperadrenocorticism, liver disease, pyometra and others. These things affect the kidney's ability to respond. Head trauma or brain cancer can affect the body's ability to produce ADH. This condition is treated using desmopressin acetate (DDAVP), which is a replacement for the anti-diuretic hormone. It can be administered intra-nasally or on the conjunctiva (the inside lining of the eyes). It is pretty effective. Unfortunately, it is also somewhat expensive. Some dogs benefit from therapy with other medications, including chlorpropamide and chlorothiazide diuretics.

Extractions: Printer-Friendly Format Add to Favorites Email to a Friend ... Next page What is diabetes insipidus? Diabetes insipidus (DI) is an endocrine disorder involving deficient production or lack of effective action of an antidiuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin). ADH is made in the hypothalamus (lower part of the brain), stored in and secreted by the pituitary gland (a small gland located below the hypothalamus), and works on the kidney to conserve fluid. Deficient production of ADH or lack of effective action of ADH causes large amount of urine output, increasing thirst, dehydration, and low blood pressure in advanced cases. Average urine volume for a normal adult is 1.5 liters daily. In diabetes insipidus, the urine volume can approach 18 liters daily! Diseases of the hypothalamus/pituitary gland causing lack of ADH production is called central DI. Diseases of the kidney causing lack of response of the kidney to fluid conserving action of ADH is called nephrogenic DI. Examples of central DI include surgical removal of the hypothalamus, tumors of the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland, infection of the pituitary gland, autoimmune (body's immune system attacking own organ) damage of the pituitary gland, and familial disease of the pituitary gland.

Extractions: Main htmlAdWH('7002568', '234', '60'); 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. 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
