Diabetes insipidus and hypercalcemia

Common Questions and Answers about Diabetes insipidus and hypercalcemia

diabetes

Avatar f tn Hello, Without examination confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but frequent urination(polyuria) can be due to diabetes mellitus. Other possibilities are diabetes insipidus, glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis(inflammation of the kidneys),urinary tract infection, hypercalcemia, hypokalemia(low potassium),hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism and diuretic drugs. Also UTI’s need to be evaluated. For this is suggest you to consult a physician and get urine culture done. I hope it helps.
Avatar f tn My diabetes insipidus is controversial. One doctor says that I have central diabetes insipidus and others, eg. the latest urologist, say that I do not have it. Because doctors did not search the cause years ago, I think that it is not important. The condition has been intermittent for many years and thus may not be serious. I have had only a couple of bladder infections during my 65-year life, thus infections may not be causes for it. I have uterine issues, myomas and endometrial overgrowth.

Avatar f tn During a couple of years I have sometimes had hypernatremia (maybe dehydration), and often hypercalcemia (due to hyperparathyroidism). Maybe I have partial diabetes insipidus. I am wondering whether I could also have adrenal insufficiency. But I don't have low sodium or cravings for salt. On the contrary I don't like/tolerate salt. My S-Corsol has been normal. I don't have hyperaldosteronism. I am 65 years old. I have had much stress and burnout in my history.
Avatar n tn Hello, Causes of urge of frequent urination include pregnancy, interstitial cystitis, diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis(inflammation of the kidneys),urinary tract infection, hypercalcemia, hypokalemia(low potassium),hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism and diuretic drugs.
Avatar n tn Can there be a relationship between the tow (a fib and diabetes insipidus?) I am 50 years old and otherwise healthy, exercise regularly, eat well. Any info out there?
Avatar m tn Other possibilities are diabetes insipidus, glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis(inflammation of the kidneys),urinary tract infection, hypercalcemia, hypokalemia(low potassium),hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism and diuretic drugs. I suggest you to discuss these possibilities with your urologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn Diabetes insipidus(water diabetes) is due to a hormone lacking that helps us hold onto water, these children will urinate excessively, drink excessively, lose weight and be sick with high sodiums, there is a form due to the pituitary hormone lacking and that which is due to the kidney not responding to the normal hormone. It does not sound like repeated fevers alone is diabetes insipidus.
Avatar f tn Antidiuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin) is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. ADH deficiency is known as diabetes insipidus. Symptoms are frequent thirst and urination. Treatment is desmopressin (synthetic replacement for vasopressin) - taken 2 to 3 times a day.
Avatar m tn Is there a medication for Diabetes Insipidus other than Desmopressin? The headaches as a side affect are dibilitating. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/557217'>peuatrygland diabetts</a>.

Avatar n tn Well, I had a similar thing going on with my dog, but it appears to have resolved itself right now. If you have hot weather, and your dog has also been exercising hard, then you can expect she will drink more. Also if she has been fed anything which is salty..... BUT...suddenly drinking a lot more can be a sign of many things. Has she been spayed? If not, it can be a sign of the dreaded Pyometra. Unusual, but not impossible in a 4 year old.
Avatar n tn Hello, Without examination,confirming a diagnosis is tough but these symptoms can be due to diabetes mellitus,diabetes insipidus,glomerulonephritis,tubular necrosis,pyelonephritis(inflammation of the kidneys),urinary tract infection,hypercalcemia,hypokalemia(low potassium),hyperthyroidism,hyperparathyroidism,diuretic drugs and psychogenic polydypsia.
Avatar f tn She never mentioned anything about insulin and that's because she has Diabetes Insipidus, which she clearly stated. Diabetes Insipidus IS NOT Diabetes Mellitus.
327385 tn?1378360731 i have been gaining weight-very tired-moody lately.is this realted to diabetes insipidus?is di serious or med will fix ?any outher problems besides thirsty-and urination to watch for?endo dident tell me much about it.just give me dessmon nasial spray.i was wornding if thats why i cant lose weight?i gain around 3 to 5 pnds week.then take it off the next.can di lead to piuitary thyroid condition?my thyroid labs are allway on low normal.any info would ease my mind,thanks for your time.
Avatar m tn I see you have the word 'diabetes' crossed. Diabetes is a Greek word meaning large amounts of urine. Both diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus fall into this realm but both are separate mechanisms. This forum deals mostly with type 2 diabetes, people who have high blood sugar levels [mellitus]. Diabetes insipidus is kidney related. For best answers, the forum to post on is Kidney Disease & Disorders.
Avatar n tn If the levels are so low and potassium levels are high maybe a creatinine clearance test should be done to test the condition of the kidney and rule out diabetes insipidus. CPK or creatinine phosphokinase and liver enzymes should be done if there is muscle wasting. Diabetes insipidus can also cause whole body edema. Please consult an endocrine specialist and a nephrologist. Take care!

Avatar n tn Get a second opinion. My niece has jeuvenile diabetes and those were her exact symptoms. He should have a blood test.
Avatar m tn SOunds to me -- only a thought--- that this is related to a hyperparathyroid not involved with the thyroid itself. I would go to www.parathyroid.com and read through the material - see the symptoms involved. With high calcuim - low PTH and VIT D you fit the profile. What kind of doctor are you seeing at this time?
Avatar f tn Does he seem to drink water constantly and cannot go anywhere without water? If so, it could be diabetes insipidus, which is VERY different than diabetes mellitis (Type 1 or Type 2). If not, then it could be a number of things, such as an enlarged prostrate or something else impinging on the bladder and creating a sensation of needing to go, even if the bladder is empty. It could be a problem with the nerves or muscles that connect to and control the bladder.
Avatar f tn Could both of these issues, Diabetes Insipidus and lack of growth, be something more and maybe I should bring something up at his 2 yr appt in a month? The doc does want to retest for the DS but it was hard enough not giving him anything to drink for 12 hours espcially at bedtime when he brings 2 sippy's to bed with him when he was first tested in the spring.
172023 tn?1334672284 It would not hurt to test for diabetes insipidus either. Diabetes Insipidus can occur with other diseases and is very controllable with Desmopressin Acetate. The cognitive disorder drug Anipryl can also be helpful for polyuria/polydipsia (excessive drinking and urination) as it's side-effect. Another uncommon possibility is psychogenic polydipsia and just means that your dog may have a behavioral drinking problem.
