Overview

Diabetes insipidus is a disorder of water-electrolyte balance characterized by the excretion of large volumes of dilute urine and increased fluid intake. This condition can be life-threatening if not properly diagnosed and managed, and can be caused by insufficient production of vasopressin, its increased degradation, or an impaired response of the kidneys to vasopressin. Treatment includes desmopressin or drugs that increase the sensitivity of the distal nephron to vasopressin.
