Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus

Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus is a condition where the kidneys are unable to properly respond to a hormone called vasopressin, which normally helps the body conserve water by concentrating urine. As a result, the kidneys produce large amounts of diluted urine, leading to excessive thirst and frequent urination. Unlike other forms of diabetes insipidus caused by low vasopressin levels, this form occurs despite normal or high levels of the hormone, often due to genetic factors, kidney damage, or certain medications. Managing the condition typically involves controlling fluid intake and addressing the underlying cause.
