diabetes insipidus symptoms weight loss

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.

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.

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.

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

rinking a lot of water can be diabetes insipidus. Also called "Water Diabetes". I hear that isn't so bad, but the really important thing about it is that water should always be available and they should drink as much as they need, and they can carry on OK for years like that so long as they aren't denied water or they get dangerously dehydrated. Testing her blood and urine might be a good thing?

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>.

Diabetes mellitus or Diabetes insipidus?

We tried to start her on an antibiotic but that coincided with loss of appetite. Stopping of antibiotic had no effect. Dramatic weight loss and weakness are increasing. Any ideas?

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?

Recently i have been experiencing extreme thirst, frequent urination and hand shakes. I know theses are some symptoms of diabetes however I have not experienced any weight loss. Is there another possible explanation for my symptoms? Are these enough symptoms to be concerned about possible diabetes?

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 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.

Other common symptoms are hunger, excessive but you gain weight. Your test came out normal. I would look into it more, for the reason. If your doctor won't please go to a urologist to see if there is a problem. You know when I am anxious, which is often I tend to do the same thing. Did your doctor have any suggestions?

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.

I am 6 weeks post op after a transphenoidal pituitary resection of a non functioning non secreting pituitary macroadenoma (2mm). I still have diabetes insipidus and almost zero testosterone. I have to resume work in a week and feel so so tired. 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.

Another possibility might be diabetes insipidus . Look it up on the net and see if you think this might be a possibility. Of course a doctor would have to diagnose it. You cannot walk around dehydrated all the time. So make sure you see a doctor real soon.

Adding a complicating wrench into everything is the fact that she was diagnosed earlier this week with Diabetes Insipidus, and has numerous issues with keeping her sodium levels under adequate control (they have been persistently in 171-176) and maintaining an appropriate fluid balance and replacing her excessively high urine output.

He is supposed to be finding out why i am having stomach issues (constipation), but instead is more intrested in my weight loss and seems to think I have some sort of diabetes. He looked at my blood work from the records my PCP sent him. The first thing out of his mouth was "ketones" (sp?), said they were huge. I told him i had never heard about it from other doctors. He is doing more blood work and of course have to have the endoscopy (sp?) later this month.

If dibetes is ruled out by HbA1C,then other possibilities like diabetes insipidus,glomerulonephritis,tubular necrosis,pyelonephritis(inflammation of the kidneys),urinary tract infection,hypercalcemia,hypokalemia(low potassium),hyperthyroidism,hyperparathyroidism,diuretic drugs and psychogenic polydypsia have to be investigated.Pls consult a physician and get yourself evaluated. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional queries.

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.

During last few days I have had tinnitus in my left ear, have had muscle cramps, and I have lost some weight. As to thyroid over or undermedication, my symptoms are inconsistent. During several months I have lost some muscle strength and much hair. It may be due to the Thyroid Erfa decrease from 2.5G to 2 or 2.25G. During a couple of years I have sometimes had hypernatremia (maybe dehydration), and often hypercalcemia (due to hyperparathyroidism). Maybe I have partial diabetes insipidus.

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

I had two strokes eight years ago, but since then every-time I laugh too much I pass out, is this happening because I had the strokes, I also have diabetes insipidus and have histiocytosis can anybody tell me what could be causing the fainting spells?

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?
