Patient Experience
Diabetes Insipidus
• Kidneys are unable to conserve water as they
perform their function of filtering blood.
• Amount of water conserved is controlled by
antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin.
• ADH is a hormone
– Produced in the hypothalamus
– Stored and released from the pituitary gland, a small gland
at the base of the brain.
• DI caused by a lack of ADH is called central diabetes
insipidus. When DI is caused by a failure of the
kidneys to respond to ADH, the condition is called
nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
