disease insipid diabetes It is an uncommon disorder that leads to an imbalance of fluids in the body. This defect leads to the production of large amounts of urine. And it makes you feel very thirsty even if you just drank, according to the realsimple website.
Although the terms “diabetes insipidus” and “diabetes mellitus” are similar, they are not related. Diabetes mellitus, which involves high levels of sugar in the blood and can come in the form of type 1 or type 2, is a common disease and is often referred to simply as diabetes mellitus.
There is no cure for diabetes insipidus. However, treatments can reduce thirst, reduce urine output, and prevent dehydration.
symptoms
Signs and symptoms of diabetes insipidus include:
extreme thirst
Excreting large amounts of pale-coloured urine
Frequent need to get up to urinate at night
Preference for cold drinks
If your condition is severe and you drink a lot of fluids, you may pass up to 20 quarts (about 19 liters) of urine per day. A healthy adult typically urinates 1 to 2 quarts (about 1 to 2 liters) per day, on average.
An infant or young child with diabetes insipidus may have the following signs and symptoms:
The weight of the diapers got heavy and they got wet
Bed wetting
difficulty sleeping
fever
vomiting
constipation
growth retardation
Weight loss
If you have diabetes insipidus, your body can’t properly balance fluid levels. The cause depends on the type of diabetes insipidus you have. Its types include:
Central diabetes insipidus. Damage to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus that occurs as a result of surgery, tumor, head injury, or disease can cause central diabetes insipidus by affecting normal production of antidiuretic hormone, its storage and release system. Genetic diseases can also cause this condition.
Renal diabetes insipidus. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus occurs when there is a defect in the structure of the kidneys that makes them unable to respond properly to antidiuretic hormone.
This defect may be due to a genetic disorder or a chronic kidney disorder. Some medications can also cause renal diabetes insipidus, such as lithium or antiviral drugs such as Foscavir.
Gestational diabetes insipidus. Gestational diabetes insipidus is rare. It only occurs during pregnancy when an enzyme produced by the placenta destroys the mother’s antidiuretic hormone.
Primary polydipsia. Also known as anhydrous diabetes insipidus, this condition can cause you to produce large amounts of dilute urine after drinking large amounts of fluids.
