This document discusses diabetes insipidus, which is characterized by excessive urine production and thirst. It can be caused by a deficiency or insensitivity to antidiuretic hormone. There are different types, including cranial and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Symptoms include polyuria, nocturia, and dehydration if untreated. Diagnosis involves urine and blood tests and imaging. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include desmopressin for cranial diabetes insipidus or thiazide diuretics for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

CRANIAL DI
• Des-amino-des-aspartate-arginine vasopressin DDAVP
Intranasally (10 – 20 µg once or twice daily
Orally 200µg thrice daily
and IM 2-4µg once daily
11. NEPHROGENIC DI
• THIAZIDE DIURETICS hydrochlorothiazides
• CARBAMAZEPINE 200 – 400 mg daily
• CHLORPROPAMIDE 200-400 mg daily
• NSAIDS (indomethacin 15 mg 8 hourly
Lithium-induced nephrogenic DI may be
effectively managed with the administration of amiloride, a
potassium-sparing diuretic often used in conjunction with
thiazide or loop diuretics.
