Desmopressin for diabetes insipidus
Common Questions and Answers about Desmopressin for diabetes insipidus
ddavp
She never mentioned anything about insulin and that's because she has Diabetes Insipidus, which she clearly stated. Diabetes Insipidus IS NOT Diabetes Mellitus.
Is there a medication for Diabetes Insipidus other than Desmopressin? The headaches as a side affect are dibilitating.

Diabetes Insipidus is not the normal type of diabetes that can be controlled by food or by medications like metformin or insulin. Diabetes Type 1 and Type 2 are those that are controlled by food and or medications like metformin or insulin.
Diabetes Insipidus is a rare condition and nothing to do with the the pancreas and production of insulin or lack of it. A blood sugar monitor will be of no use to someone with Diabetes Insipidus.
Wow, I was in the same situation (only I use the pills, not the nasal spray which I think is safer). I had benign brain tumor removed, and right after that i went to the bathroom every 15 minutes! I've been on this medicine for 16 years only to find out now my endo doesn't think I have diabetes insipidus! He said sometimes it's only temporary that you need the desmopressin after brain surgery, from the trauma.
t need my ddavp pill anymore is because he said my sodium level has never went low (I think he said it gets either extremely low or high when you have diabetes insipidus). I also went for a urine test called urine specific gravity right before I take my next dose of the pill. He said it came back fine/normal-which I think ment my urine was fine without the pill.
I guess your vet is suggesting using the DDAVP (Desmopressin) inhaler as eyedrops. From what I can tell, this stuff runs about $78 a bottle (less if you get more than one bottle).
I am kind of confused as to why you are being prescribed DAVPP for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, because that's usually prescribed for CENTRAL Diabetes Insipidus, caused when the pituitary gland doesn't secrete enough ADH.
How long did it take for your diabetes insipidus to resolve? how long did it take for your doctor to prescribe testosterone? My endo refuses to prescribed the testosterone as he says that should recover by itself, however I am exhausted all day. I am on ddavp (sublingual pill) and 10mg of prednisone.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced diabetes insipidus? The reason for the test is because I have been extremely thirsty and urinating almost every 1.5 hours a day. I received a copy of the test results. They tested my ADH level (arginine vasopressin) The results are L<1.0 Range:1.0-13.3
They say there are different types of diabetes insipidus, basically that the kidneys are doing what they are supposed to do or a pituitary issue.
Hello~First, your friend needs to be examined by the GP, there could be some reasons for this such as Diabetes, urinary track issues, infections, or other issues with the kidneys and/or bladder.
There is a drug called Desmopressin (DDAVP) it reduces urine production at night. But drinking too much liquid with the medication can cause problems, and Desmopressin should be avoided if you have symptoms such as a fever, diarrhea or nausea.
I have been diagnosed with a fib, several years ago and am taking meds (beta blocker and antiarrhythmic, coumadin) I had a PVI 18 months ago and initially the frqency and duration of episodes diminished but never disappeared. recently, I was diagnosed with diabetes insipidus and have a fib episodes of increasing frequency (almost daily0 and duration (3-8 hours). Can there be a relationship between the tow (a fib and diabetes insipidus?
I was diagnosed with diabetes insipidus a few months ago and it gets worse when my anxiety goes up, I have a very stressful job and work from home. If I needed to pin point when I started feeling "down" it was probably when I had my 2nd son about 4 yrs ago. Feeling trapped in my own home, don't like to leave my house, I yell a lot and have completely loss interest in being intimate with my husband.
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!
Hello
Does anyone else have secondary hypothyroidism following their surgery?
God knows the Acromegaly aftermath was bad enough to sort out with Dr. Now this to deal with. She's just done my bloods. Should she test TRH as well masTSH, T3 and T4 in this case or am I wrong?
No guidance from consultan,t who eventually diagnosed the thyroid damage, only to begin taking 50 mcg of Thyroxine. Taking this at 5 am to avoid absorption problems.
Can't stop urinating.Its driving me nuts.
He has none of the symptoms of diabetes insipidus, except peeing frequently. I guess we'll have to go to a doc. Thank you for your help.
Sorry about the above comment. With the yeast infections (and the ears are also a hotspot for yeast to grow), it's not likely to be diabetes insipidus. Like WaveRider said, get to a doctor ASAP.
m getting a little concerned about his size and not growing very much. He was tested back in the spring for Diabetes Insipidus for drinking so much water and it came back positive. My child eats and eat and eats but gains nothing... 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?
Hi I have diabetes insipidus too. Mine is partial so it ebbs and flows a bit and I do have to adjust my DDAVP dose sometimes. Without DDAVP my fluid consumption is 4 or more gallons a day. At first, I kept a fluid intake and output diary. Also I weighed myself every morning to see if I was taking to much medication and/or not consuming the right amount of fluids.
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.
How old is your son? You should look into Diabetes Insipidus. My daughter is having similar issues and thats what we are currently testing for. I also havent ruled out regular diabetes either, even though they've not found her sugar to be high. Does your son's breath sometimes smell like nail polish remover?
