Central diabetes insipidus

Central diabetes insipidus results from inappropriate production of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin and can ameliorated by hormone supplementation.

Differentials

There are several aquired conditions which result in syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone
secretion (SIADH).

Symptoms

Polyuria
Polyuria can be remarkably reduced with AVP administration.

Systematic

Hereditary diabetes insipidus
Central diabetes insipidus
AVP
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Wolfram syndrome
