-
Diabetes insipidus caused by a decrease in the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) from the posterior pituitary gland; causes include autoimmune and/or inflammatory conditions, congenital anomalies of the central nervous system and pituitary gland, mutation(s) of the AVP gene, irradiation to the region, neoplasia, surgery, and trauma.NICHD Pediatric TerminologyU.S. National Cancer Institute, 2021

-
(diabetes insipidus, neurogenic) A genetic or acquired polyuric disorder caused by a deficiency of VASOPRESSINS secreted by the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. Clinical signs include the excretion of large volumes of dilute URINE; HYPERNATREMIA; THIRST; and polydipsia. Etiologies include HEAD TRAUMA; surgeries and diseases involving the HYPOTHALAMUS and the PITUITARY GLAND. This disorder may also be caused by mutations of genes such as ARVP encoding vasopressin and its corresponding neurophysin (NEUROPHYSINS).NLM Medical Subject HeadingsU.S. National Library of Medicine, 2021
-
Diabetes insipidus results from a deficiency of vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone [ADH]) due to a hypothalamic-pituitary disorder (central diabetes insipidus) or from resistance of the kidneys to vasopressin (nephrogenic diabetes insipidus). Polyuria and polydipsia develop. Diagnosis is by water deprivation test showing failure to...Merck & Co., Inc., 2020
