What is DI? | Insufficiency of ADH that leads to polydipsia and polyuria. It is a partial or total inability to concentrate urine. |
What are the 2 types of DI? | Neurogenic and Nephrogenic |
Describe Neurogenic DI and risk factors | Also referred to as central DI. Caused by insufficient production of ADH by the hypothalmus. Can be caused by neurosurgery or brain truama |
Describe Nephrogenic DI and risk factors | The renal collecting duct is insensitive to ADH. Can be caused by genetic factors or kidney diseases. |
How differentiat DI from Other diseases | In DI during a water deprivation test, the patient will continue to urinate large volumes, where as other disease processes will show a decline in urination following water deprivation. |
