Diagnosis is often based on urine tests, blood tests and the fluid deprivation test. [1] Despite the name, diabetes insipidus is unrelated to diabetes mellitus and the conditions have a distinct mechanism, though both can result in the production of large amounts of urine. [1] Treatment involves drinking sufficient fluids to prevent dehydration ...
1-797. A fluid or water deprivation test is a medical test [1] which can be used to determine whether the patient has diabetes insipidus as opposed to other causes of polydipsia (a condition of excessive thirst that causes an excessive intake of water). The patient is required, for a prolonged period, to forgo intake of water completely, to ...
Polyuria, nocturia, and polydipsia. Central diabetes insipidus, recently renamed arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D), [ 1] is a form of diabetes insipidus that is due to a lack of vasopressin (ADH) production in the brain. Vasopressin acts to increase the volume of blood (intravascularly), and decrease the volume of urine produced.
X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus type 1 [304800] V2 receptor: Xq28: XR: Hyperthermia, polyuria, polydipsia, dehydration, inability to form concentrated urine, intellectual disability if diagnosis delayed. Symptoms in infancy: Hyperosmolar plasma, dilute urine Autosomal dominant nephrogenic diabetes insipidus type 2 [192340] AQP2: 12q13 ...
Differential diagnosis includes nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, neurogenic/central diabetes insipidus and psychogenic polydipsia. They may be differentiated by using the water deprivation test. Recently, lab assays for antidiuretic hormone are available and can aid in diagnosis.
Medical genetics, neurology. Wolfram syndrome, also called DIDMOAD ( d iabetes i nsipidus, d iabetes m ellitus, o ptic a trophy, and d eafness), is a rare autosomal-recessive genetic disorder that causes childhood-onset diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness as well as various other possible disorders including neurodegeneration.
A craniopharyngioma is a rare type of brain tumor derived from pituitary gland embryonic tissue [1] that occurs most commonly in children, but also affects adults. It may present at any age, even in the prenatal and neonatal periods, but peak incidence rates are childhood-onset at 5–14 years and adult-onset at 50–74 years. [2]
Slowly evolving immune-mediated diabetes, or latent autoimmune diabetes in adults ( LADA ), is a form of diabetes that exhibits clinical features similar to both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), [ 3][ 4] and is sometimes referred to as type 1.5 diabetes. [ 5] It is an autoimmune form of diabetes, similar to T1D, but patients ...
