Medfødt nefrogen diabetes insipidus Sjælden arvelig sygdom, der oftest er kønsbunden og derfor oftest rammer drenge. Sygdommen skyldes en af flere mulige fejl i et gen, der styrer vandoptagelsen i nyrerne, således at der udskilles store mængder tynd urin. Symptomerne viser sig kort efter fødslen eller i spædbarnsalderen ved øget vandladning og tørst. Væskemangel (dehydrering) kan være livstruende. Man skal sørge for at børn får rigeligt med væske, f.eks. ved at tilbyde dem vand hver 2. time døgnet rundt. Vandudskillelsen kan mindskes med nedsat saltindtagelse og særlig medicin. Prognosen er god. Kilde: Medicinsk Kompendium, 15. udg., side 2064-2065.

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

Next Diabetes Insipidus What is diabetes insipidus? How is diabetes insipidus diagnosed? How is diabetes insipidus treated? 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.

Vetinfo Canine Encyclopedia Feline Encyclopedia VetInfo Digest ... Your Turn Encyclopedia of Canine Veterinary Medical Information 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.

What DI means to me 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.

These four forms are: (1) Neurogenic, also known as central, hypothalamic, pituitary or neurohypophyseal is caused by deficiency of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin; (2) Nephrogenic, also known as vasopressin-resistant is caused by insensitivity of the kidneys to the effect of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin; (3) Gestagenic, also known as gestational is also caused by a deficiency of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin, that occurs only during pregnancy; and (4) Dipsogenic, a form of primary polydipsia is caused by abnormal thirst and the excessive intake of water or other liquids. The main goal of The Diabetes Insipidus Foundation, Inc. is improved treatment, and ultimately the prevention and cure of all forms of diabetes insipidus through research. It seeks to promote a greater public awareness and understanding of the disease and will serve patients and their families with informational material and through the quarterly publication of Endless Water. Finally, it seeks to promote Diabetes Insipidus as "A DiFferent Diabetes" so that people will know that there is another diabetes.
