See also diabetes insipidus-central Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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.

http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/kidney/pubs/insipidus/insipidus.htm

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.
Normal Fluid Regulation in the Body
Your body has a complex system for balancing the volume and composition of body fluids. Your kidneys remove extra body fluids from your bloodstream. This fluid waste is stored in the bladder as urine. If your fluid regulation system is working properly, your kidneys make less urine to conserve fluid when the body is losing water. Your kidneys also make less urine at night when the body's metabolic processes are slower.
The hypothalamus makes antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which directs the kidneys to make less urine.

Website Lounges Live Chat Online Library Histiocyte Society What is diabetes insipidus? 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?

Diabetes Insipidus
F A C T :
Though produced by the hypothalamus, the portion of the brain that stimulates the pituitary gland, the antidiuretic hormone, is actually stored and released into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland. What is diabetes insipidus?
Diabetes insipidus is a condition that results from insufficient production of the antidiuretic hormone by the hypothalamus, the portion of the brain that stimulates the pituitary gland. Normally, the antidiuretic hormone controls the kidneys' output of urine. Diabetes insipidus causes excessive thirst and excessive production of very diluted urine.
Causes of diabetes insipidus:
Diabetes insipidus can be caused by several conditions, including:
  • malfunctioning hypothalamus
  • malfunctioning pituitary gland
  • damage to hypothalamus or pituitary gland during surgery
  • brain injury
  • tumor
  • tuberculosis
  • blockage in the arteries leading to the brain
  • encephalitis
  • meningitis
  • sarcoidosis (a rare inflammation of the lymph nodes and other tissues
    throughout the body)

    Diabetes Insipidus
    In Diabetes Insipidus there is a failure to either produce ADH (more common) or for the kidney to respond to ADH (rare); in a sense, it is the opposite end of the spectrum from SIADH where there is too much ADH or oversensitivity to it. In DI there is almost pure water loss, often with maintenance of normal sodium balance. The mean age of onset is 16 years of age, with a slight male predominance. Symptoms : Polyuria (urine output greater than 30mL/kg/day), polydipsia, dilute urine, nocturia, dehydration . May be otherwise asymptomatic, but severe cases will have symptoms of hypernatremia Diagnosis : Urine s.g. less than 1.005. Urine osmolality less than 200 mOsm/kg; serum osmolality will be normal (assuming patient has access to water) to slightly elevated: range 280-295 mOsm per kg. The water deprivation test is used to demonstrate central DI.. Water is restricted until the patient is about 5% dehydrated and the urine reaches a steady-state osmolarity. A test dose of ADH is then administered. In normal patients and those with nephrogenic DI, the urine osmolarity will change less than 5 mOsm/kg. In complete central DI, the osmolarity will double; in partial central DI, there will be an intermediate effect. Treatment : A patient presenting acutely with DI and hypernatremia should be treated for the hypernatremic dehydration . In the longer term, neurogenic may respond to nasal desmopressin (a synthetic analog of ADH). Nephrogenic requires good hydration and monitoring of electrolytes. Thiazide and amiloride may relieve symptoms by depleting total body salt and forcing increased reabsorbtion in the proximal convoluted tubule. The oral hypoglycemic agent chlorpropamide can be used to stimulate ADH secretion in cases of partial central DI, although its use is limited by hypoglycemia. Carbamazepine and clofibrate also stimulate ADH secretion.

    Dawn Phenomenon
    A sudden rise in blood glucose levels in the early morning hours. This condition sometimes occurs in people with insulin-dependent diabetes and (rarely) in people with noninsulin-dependent diabetes. Unlike the Somogyi effect, it is not a result of an insulin reaction. People who have high levels of blood glucose in the mornings before eating may need to monitor their blood glucose during the night. If blood glucose levels are rising, adjustments in evening snacks or insulin dosages may be recommended. See also: Somogyi effect

    Diabetes Insipidus
    What is diabetes insipidus and why do we get it?
    Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disorder in which your kidneys are unable to retain water. This results in the production of large volumes of urine which in turn makes you feel dry and very thirsty. It is very important to point out that DI is not related to the type of diabetes most people have heard of, diabetes mellitus. In DI , there is no problem with the sugar in the blood or urine. The problem either concerns the lack of a water-retaining hormone or chemical in the blood (called vasopressin; sometimes anti-diuretic hormone) or is sometimes due to an abnormality in the kidneys which prevents them from responding to this hormone. The hormone itself is normally secreted by the pituitary gland , which is located at the base of the brain, just behind the bridge of the nose.
