Overview

The most important differential diagnosis for diabetes insipidus include: Central diabetes insipidus, acquired, Trauma (surgery, deceleration injury), Vascular (cerebral hemorrhage, infarction, anterior communicating artery aneurysm or ligation, intra-hypothalamic hemorrhage), Neoplastic (craniopharyngioma, meningioma, germinoma, pituitary tumor or metastases), Granulomatous (histiocytosis, sarcoidosis), Infectious (meningitis, encephalitis), Inflammatory/autoimmune (lymphocytic infundibuloneurohypophysitis), Drug/toxin-induced (ethanol, diphenylhydantoin, snake venom), hydrocephalus, Idiopathic, congenital, Congenital malformations, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus: Acquired, drug-induced (demeclocycline, lithium, cisplatin, methoxyflurane, etc.), Hypercalcemia, hypokalemia, infiltrating lesions (sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, multiple myeloma, Sjogren's disease), Vascular (sickle cell disease), congenital, X-linked recessive, primary polydipsia,Psychogenic, dipsogenic (downward resetting of thirst threshold), gestational diabetes insipidus, Diabetes mellitus.

Differentiating diabetes insipidus based on the type of diabetes insipidus caused

The most important differential diagnosis for diabetes insipidus include:[1][2][3]

Type of DI Subclass Disease Defining signs and symptoms Lab/Imaging findings
Central Acquired Histiocytosis
  • CD1a and CD45 +
  • Interleukin-17 (ILITA)
