What is Diabetes Insipidus?

Diabetes Insipidus is a disorder characterised by the deficiency or insensitivity of vasopressin (anti-diuretic hormone). There are two main types of diabetes insipidus:

  • Cranial Diabetes Insipidus
  • Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus

 

Cranial diabetes insipidus results from an actual deficiency of ADH, whereas the nephrogenic form arises as a result of the insensitivity of the kidney tubules to ADH.
