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]
This means that psychogenic polydipsia may lead to test results (e.g. in a water restriction test) consistent with diabetes insipidus or SIADH, leading to misdiagnosis. [14] Dry mouth is often a side effect of medications used in the treatment of some mental disorders, rather than being caused by the underlying condition. [15]
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 levels of vasopressin (also called ...
Dent's disease (or Dent disease) is a rare X-linked recessive inherited condition that affects the proximal renal tubules [ 1] of the kidney. It is one cause of Fanconi syndrome, and is characterized by tubular proteinuria, excess calcium in the urine, formation of calcium kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis, and chronic kidney failure .
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.
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. Therefore, a lack of it causes increased ...
Polydipsia is excessive thirst or excess drinking. [ 1] The word derives from Greek πολυδίψιος (poludípsios) 'very thirsty', [ 2] which is derived from Ancient Greek πολύς (polús) 'much, many' and δίψα (dípsa) 'thirst'. Polydipsia is a nonspecific symptom in various medical disorders. It also occurs as an abnormal ...
A fasting blood sugar level of ≥ 7.0 mmol / L (126 mg/dL) is used in the general diagnosis of diabetes. [17] There are no clear guidelines for the diagnosis of LADA, but the criteria often used are that the patient should develop the disease in adulthood, not need insulin treatment for the first 6 months after diagnosis and have autoantibodies in the blood.
