Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is a disorder in which the kidneys do not respond properly to the hormone that regulates how concentrated the urine is. As a result, the body passes large amounts of dilute urine. Despite the name, it is not related to blood sugar.
Common symptoms: intense, persistent thirst, along with the need to urinate very frequently, even during the night.
Common causes: inherited or acquired conditions that affect how the kidney responds to that hormone.
Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation falls to the nephrologist and, depending on the case, the endocrinologist or the internist; in children, the pediatric nephrologist is involved. If you notice excessive thirst and urination with no clear explanation, it is a good idea to discuss it with a professional.
