Central Diabetes Insipidus
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Central diabetes insipidus is a disorder in which the body does not produce enough antidiuretic hormone, which disrupts the balance of fluids and causes excessive loss of water through the urine. It is not related to blood sugar levels.
Common symptoms: Intense, persistent thirst, abundant urine production, and a frequent need to drink fluids, even during the night.
Common causes: It may originate from alterations in the region of the brain that regulates this hormone, from injuries, or from congenital factors.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist studies hormonal function, and in children the pediatric endocrinologist is involved along with the pediatrician. If excessive thirst and urination occur without explanation, it is worth bringing it to a professional for evaluation.
