Overview

Diabetes insipidus must be differentiated from other diseases that cause polyuria, which is defined as a urine output exceeding 3 L/day in adults and 2 L/m2 in children; increased urine frequency, or nocturia; and polydipsia. It is important to know that levels of hypo- or hypernatremia is not sufficient to describe the underlying cause of diabetes insipidus.

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) Other disorders (hydrocephalus, ventricular/suprasellar cyst, trauma, degenerative diseases) Idiopathic Congenital Congenital malformations Autosomal dominant: AVP-neurophysin gene mutations Autosomal recessive X-linked recessive Idiopathic 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 (OMIM 304800): AVP V2 receptor gene mutations Autosomal recessive: AQP2 water channel gene mutations Primary polydipsia Psychogenic Dipsogenic (downward resetting of thirst threshold) Gestational diabetes insipidus Diabetes mellitus
