• ••{ ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE:= Antidiuretic hormone regulates the body’s water balance. This hormone is produced by the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. }••
• => Diabetes insipidus is a condition in which antidiuretic hormone is secreted in inadequate amounts or there is a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone.

• => Due to this, the body water level is impaired and urine output from the body increases.

Two main symptoms are seen in diabetes insipidus.

• 1) Polyuria (excessive urination := due to deficiency of antidiuretic hormone),
• 2)Polydypsia (excessive thirst := due to the excretion of excess urine from the body.)

2)Explain the causes and types of diabetes incipidus Explain the causes and types of diabetes incipidus.

• => Thus, central diabetes insipidus is seen due to deficiency or inadequate amount of antidiuretic hormone in the body.

2) NEPHROGENIC DIABETES INCIPIDUS (Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus)

=> Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus occurs when the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is present in the body in adequate amounts but the kidneys/renals do not respond to the antidiuretic hormone for any reason.

• => Thus, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is seen due to an impairment in the structure of the kidney.

3) PSYCOGENIC DIABETES INCIPIDUS (Psychogenic Diabetes Insipidus)

• => Psychogenic diabetes insipidus is also called primary polydypsia.
• =>Psychogenic diabetes insipidus is caused by excessive fluid intake for any reason because antidiuretic hormone is suppressed due to excessive fluid intake.
• => Due to a mental health disorder.
• => Due to the habit of consuming too much fluid.
• => Thus, psychogenic diabetes insipidus is seen due to excessive fluid intake.

4)GESTATIONAL DIABETES INCIPIDUS ( GESTATIONAL DIABETES INCIPIDUS)

• => Because during pregnancy, the antidiuretic hormone is destroyed due to the release of enzymes from the patient.

3) Explain clinical manifestation of diabetes incipidus. (Explain the symptoms and signs of diabetes incipidus)

1) Polyuria (Polyuria:= Passing excessive urine)

• => A very large amount of diluted urine is passed.

2) Polydypsia (Polydipsia:= Excessive thirst)

• => Due to excessive amount of urine passing from the body, the body loses fluid, so the body feels thirsty to maintain fluid.
• ( fluid intake is 5 to 20 liter/day.)

3) Nocturia

• =>Excessive amount of urine passing during night time causes sleep pattern to be altered.

4) Dehydration

• => Due to excessive loss of water from the body, the body becomes dehydrated, hence conditions like dry mouth, dry skin, impaired skin turgor are seen.

5) Hypernatremia

• => Hypernatremia is an increase in the amount of sodium in the body and this is mainly seen due to excessive fluid loss from the body.
• Due to this, many neurological symptoms such as seizure are also seen in the body.

6)Hypotension

• Hypotension is seen due to excessive fluid loss from the body, due to which conditions like dizziness and fainting are seen. Found.

• => This mainly detects central diabetes insipidus (neurogenic diabetes insipidus) in the patient.
• => If urine production remains at the same level even after providing the patient with antidiuretic hormone, it detects that the body is producing adequate amounts of antidiuretic hormone, but due to some kidney abnormality, the kidneys are not responding to the antidiuretic hormone. Therefore, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is detected.
