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 frequency or nocturia and polydipsia.

Differentiating Diabetes insipidus from other Diseases

  • Disorders in which ADH levels are elevated[1]
    • Reduced effective arterial blood volume
      • True volume depletion
      • Heart failure
      • Cirrhosis
    • Syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion, including reset osmostat pattern
    • Hormonal changes
      • Adrenal insufficiency
      • Hypothyroidism
      • Pregnancy
  • Disorders in which ADH levels may be appropriately suppressed[2]
    • Advanced renal failure
    • Primary polydipsia
    • Beer drinker's potomania
  • Hyponatremia with normal or elevated plasma osmolality[3]
    • High plasma osmolality (effective osmols)
      • Hyperglycemia
      • Mannitol
    • High plasma osmolality (ineffective osmols)
      • Renal failure
