Diabetes insipidus results when there is a lack of anti-diuretic hormone, which is responsible for the creation of water channels in the collecting duct of the kidneys. Without ADH, water cannot be absorbed.
This results in excess amounts of urine, excessive thirst and dehydration.
What else can I help you with?
An insufficient production of ADH causes?
An insufficient production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) can lead to a condition called diabetes insipidus. This results in excessive thirst and urination, as the body is unable to properly regulate water balance. In severe cases, it can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
Does Glycosuria not occur in diabetes insipidus?

Can diabetes insipidus be detected?
Yes. Diabetes insipidus can be detected through urine analysis.
How many people have diabetes insipidus?
Symptoms of diabetes insipidus are extreme excretion of unconsentrated urin and their fore an excessive thirst. About 3 in 100 000 people in the common population are suffering from diabetes insipidus.
What disease can result from antidiuretic hormone deficiency?
Low levels of ADH can cause excessive urination (polyuria) followed by extreme thirst (polydipsia). A rare water metabolism disorder, called central diabetes insipidus, is sometimes the cause of ADH deficiency but low ADH doesn't not cause diabetes insipidus.
Which one is hereditary out of Diabetes insipidus and Diabetes mellitus?

The disease diabetes insipidus?
Diabetes insipidus is characterized by frequent urination of large amounts of dilute urine. It is caused by either a reduced production of anti-diuretic hormone by the hypothalmus, or a reduction in the sensitivity of the kidneys to anti-diuretic hormone. Diabetes insipidus generally results in dehydration and an imbalance of electrolytes in the bloodstream (most concerning being sodium and potassium).
What is the prognosis for patients with diabetes insipidus?
Uncomplicated diabetes insipidus is controllable with adequate intake of water and most patients can lead normal lives.
Can you get dla for a child with diabetes insipidus?

What causes hypo-secretion of ADH?
Hypo-secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) can be caused by conditions such as diabetes insipidus, which may be due to damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland, leading to decreased production or release of ADH. Other causes could include tumors, head injuries, or certain medications affecting the function of the pituitary gland.
Which type of diabetes is due to a deficiency in the secretion of antidiuretic hormone?
Diabetes insipidus
