'''Diabetes insipidus''' ('''DI''') is a [[disease]] characterized by excretion of large amounts of severely diluted [[urine]], which cannot be reduced when fluid intake is reduced. It denotes inability of the kidney to concentrate urine. DI is caused by a deficiency of [[antidiuretic hormone]] (ADH), also known as vasopressin, or by an insensitivity of the [[kidney]]s to that hormone.  It can also be induced [[iatrogenic]]ally by the diuretic [[conivaptan]].

Overview

Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disease characterized by excretion of large amounts of severely diluted urine, which cannot be reduced when fluid intake is reduced. It denotes inability of the kidney to concentrate urine. DI is caused by a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, or by an insensitivity of the kidneys to that hormone. It can also be induced iatrogenically by the diuretic conivaptan.
