| rdfs:comment | - Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a condition characterized by excessive thirst and excretion of large amounts of severely diluted urine, with reduction of fluid intake having no effect on the latter. There are several different types of DI, each with a different cause. The most common type is neurogenic DI, caused by a deficiency of arginine vasopressin (AVP), also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH). The second common type of DI is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, which is caused by an insensitivity of the kidneys to ADH. It can also be an iatrogenic artifact of drug use.

- Diabetes insipidus is a hormonal disorder caused by the lack of the hormone vasopressin that regulates urine production. It can also be due the kidneys being unresponsive to vassopressin. Left to their own devices, the kidneys will produce urine continuously, so a hormone restricts this production when hydration levels in the body are low to prevent dehydration.

| abstract | - Diabetes insipidus is a hormonal disorder caused by the lack of the hormone vasopressin that regulates urine production. It can also be due the kidneys being unresponsive to vassopressin. Left to their own devices, the kidneys will produce urine continuously, so a hormone restricts this production when hydration levels in the body are low to prevent dehydration. However, when this hormone is missing (primarily due to an injury to the pituitary gland, which produces the hormone) or not being responded to, the kidneys produce urine continuously. This results in dehydration, which causes the patient to drink water almost continuously, day and night, in order to replace fluids. However, the disease is difficult to diagnose. It can be mistaken for diabetes mellitus, which also causes frequent urination and severe thirst. However, the urine of insipidus patients does not contain high levels of glucose. It can also be mistaken for certain psychological disorders that cause constant water drinking. However, insipidus patients generally show to be slightly dehydrated rather than fully hydrated. In Top Secret, it was misdiagnosed as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, but as House pointed out, OCD patients don't get thirsty in their sleep.

Mayo Clinic describes diabetes Insipidusor in these words: "Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disorder characterized by intense thirst and by the excretion of large amounts of urine (polyuria). In most cases, it's the result of your body not properly producing, storing or releasing a hormone that increases water absorption by your kidneys and decreases urine flow. This form of diabetes insipidus is often called central diabetes insipidus, or sometimes neurogenic diabetes insipidus."
