Overview

Diabetes Insipidus is an uncommon disorder resulting from the insufficient production of a hormone called vasopressin. The body produces this hormone to regulate urine production and dehydration. Without this hormone, the body cannot preserve water and will produce large volumes of dilute urine. Symptoms of the disorder include intense thirst, frequent urination, dehydration, fatigue, and confusion. Treatment of Diabetes Insipidus involves replacing the deficient hormone with a synthetic one, which helps the body preserve water and maintain healthy electrolyte balances. Without proper treatment, the condition can lead to significant harm to the body, potentially leading to coma or death.
