diabetes insipidus symptoms onset

My son was tested for diabetes insipidus. The symptoms I was told to look for are extreme thirst and extreme urination which leads to dehydration. To my knowledge it is not related to infections but my son is eight and not as young as your grand child. Maybe that changes the symptoms.

She never mentioned anything about insulin and that's because she has Diabetes Insipidus, which she clearly stated. Diabetes Insipidus IS NOT Diabetes Mellitus.

Well, the vomiting does not fit with diabetes insipidus, and neither is the sudden onset, but it could fit with a urinary tract infection, or early kidney disease. Your dog's body may be trying to dilute out a current infection by increasing thirst. The urinalysis may not show anything simply since any abnormality is too diluted out. This goes for blood, bacteria and other abnormalities. An eight hour water deprivation may not be long enough to change a urinary specific gravity.

Run away from that doctor immediately! You might be better served by a neurologist since your problem is located in your brain/pituitary and you've had brain surgery. Most endocrinologists deal with Type I or Type II diabetes (not DI), few deal with thyroid conditions and still very, very few deal with pituitary conditions. You are *not* obese - you have dealt with brain tumor, brain surgery, and now DI.

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.

I know this is an old thread but can Diabetes Insipidus really cause generalized edema? Most if not all doctors seem to think it doesn't from what I've read online.

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.

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>.

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.

Diabetes mellitus or Diabetes insipidus?

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?

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.

I have a 7 year son who's had ongoing blood sugar problems for a year. He has classic symptoms of diabetes but the glucose test came back fine. His A1C fluctuates but is till within normal range. He's been tested for diabetes insipidus and so his symptoms are not from that. He had a MRI to check for a tumor on his pituitary gland. He has a small cyst near it but not on it and it's very small the ped neurologist said it wasn't causing his symptoms.

Sorry, just realized you already mentioned he was tested for diabetes. I encourage you to look up diabetes insipidus, though, just to see if that seems fit his symptoms. I would put my bets on the hernia...that when he lies down, it moves in a way that rubs a nerve or a muscle that is interpreted as a need to pee.

Get a second opinion. My niece has jeuvenile diabetes and those were her exact symptoms. He should have a blood test.

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?

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.

Sounds like Diabetes insipidus to me. This is caused because your pituitary gland is not making enough Anti-diuretic Hormone. The medication used for this is called Dessmopressin or DDAVP. It is available in a pill form, nasal spray or injection. There are a few other conditions that can mimic this so it is important to get it ruled in or out. I have this and without medication I am also up every half hour drinking and peeing.

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.

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.

One is diabetes mellitus or high blood sugar. Second is diabetes insipidus where diluted urine is passed. And the third is non bacterial urinary tract infection. Please consult an internal medicine specialist to rule these out. Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!

Have you been tested for diabetes insipidus and kidney problems?

My first thing i would mention is have you been tested for diabetes insipidus? If not then i would mention it to your doctor for further testing. Also you talk of headaches , tinnitus, and leg cramps, along with fatigue and many more symptoms.... I know you look to have had an endocrine work-up, missing the testing for diabetes, and diabetes insipidus...

It can be due to many reasons which can be physiological or disease-related, and include excessive intake of liquids, diuretic substances (including tea, caffeine, alcohol, certain drugs), anxiety, exposure to cold, diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus (central or nephrogenic), urinary tract infections or obstruction, etc to name a few more common ones. I suggest you to consult a urologist and get it evaluated. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

I left the hospital on demopressin, but surprisingly the need cleared up and later I found that diabetes insipidus can occur due to trauma. Since they went up through my nasal passage to remove the tumor, and grafted skin from the groin area , it was a trauma to that area. There is so much more known now.

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.

It can be also be due to many other reasons which can be physiological or disease-related, and include excessive intake of liquids, diuretic substances (including tea, caffeine, alcohol, certain drugs), anxiety, exposure to cold, diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus (central or nephrogenic), urinary tract infections or obstruction, etc to name a few more common ones. In males prostatitis can also cause such symptoms.
