Diabetes insipidus. Diabetes insipidus ( DI) (arginine vasopressin disorder), alternately called arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D) or arginine vasopressin resistance (AVP-R), [ 5] is a condition characterized by large amounts of dilute urine and increased thirst. [ 1] The amount of urine produced can be nearly 20 liters per day. [ 1]
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.

The patient is required, for a prolonged period, to forgo intake of water completely, to ...
Wolfram Syndrome Type 2 (WFS2) is a subtype of Wolfram Syndrome caused by a mutation in the CDGSH iron-sulfur domain-containing protein 2 gene ( CISD2 gene). CISD2 is a protein coding gene that is found on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and outer mitochondrial membrane. WFS2 is mainly localized in the ER, but studies have also shown that it can ...
Polyuria, nocturia, and polydipsia. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, recently renamed arginine vasopressin resistance (AVP-R) and previously known as renal diabetes insipidus, is a form of diabetes insipidus primarily due to pathology of the kidney. This is in contrast to central or neurogenic diabetes insipidus, which is caused by insufficient ...
392 million (2015) [11] Type 2 diabetes ( T2D ), formerly known as adult-onset diabetes, is a form of diabetes mellitus that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. [6] Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue and unexplained weight loss. [3]
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 ...
