Factors Complicating the Diagnosis of DI • Medullary washout • Central DI is often partial • Decrement in ADH activity in nephrogenic DI is often partial • Elevated residual bladder capacity

Nephrogenic DI • Normal ADH secretion, but renal resistance to ADH activity • Gradual onset • Serum sodium tends to be > 142 mEq/L

Causes of Nephrogenic DI • Hereditary X-linked V2 receptor defect • Hereditary AR Aquaporin-2 defect • Lithium toxicity • Hypercalcemia • Hypokalemia • Cidofovir and Foscarnet • Advanced age • Renal failure
Aquaporin-2 Excretion • Aquaporin-2 excretion is several-fold higher in normals compared with those with central DI • Aquaporin-2 excretion increases with exogenous ADH in patients with central DI and not in patients with nephrogenic DI
Treatment of Nephrogenic DI • Diuretics • thiazides • amiloride (lithium) • Low salt, low protein diet • NSAIDS • prostaglandins normally antagonize ADH activity • dDAVP

Case Presentation 3 47 year old female referred for polyuria. She initially presented to her urologist for urinary incontinence. A bladder neck suspension was performed, and the patient was subsequently found to have large post-void residuals of 300-400 ml. She denied nocturia, history of head trauma, and was on no medications.

Radioimmunoassay of ADH • Assay is cumbersome • High incidence of falsely low values • Sample preparation • Collect in chilled 7 ml EDTA tubes • Centrifuge 1000 g X 20 min • Freeze at -20oC • Extract in acetone and petrol-ether • Freeze at -80oC • Dessicate and store at -20oC
Mechanisms of Thirst Regulation 1. Cerebral cortex Nonessential drinking Thirst 3. Hypothalamic Osmoreceptors 2. Oropharnygeal mechanoreceptors Stimulated by im- bibing large volumes of water

Primary Polydipsia • Central defect in thirst regulation • osmotic threshold thirst < ADH • continue to drink until the plasma osm is less than the threshold • Neuroleptic therapy
Treatment of Primary Polydipsia • Clozapine may correct the central disturbance in thirst regulation • Limit use of drugs that cause dry mouth • ACE inhibitors

Case Presentation 4 29 y.o. female with a 31 week intrauterine pregnancy admitted with a 2 week history of polyuria and polydipsia. She reported 6-8 liters of daily fluid intake and voided urine every 30 minutes to an hour.

Polyuria in Pregnancy • Vasopressinases are released from the placenta resulting in a four-fold rise in ADH catabolism • May be treated with dDAVP which is resistant to vasopressinase • Polyuria often seen in patients with decreased ADH secretory reserve • Central DI in Sheehan’s syndrome
Case Presentation 5 A 16 y.o. male was treated for the “flu” at home. Despite improvement in his fever and cough, worsening lethargy prompted his mother to bring him to the E.R. Physical Exam Afebrile BP 140/85 no edema Disoriented No focal neurologic deficits

Solute (Osmotic) Diuresis • Etiology • Glucose • High-protein feedings (urea) • Expanded ECF volume • Release of urinary tract obstruction • Urine osm > 300 mosm/kg • Osmolar excretion > 900 mosm per day
Postobstructive Diuresis • Urine output after release of obstruction may initially exceed 500-1000 ml/hr • This solute diuresis is appropriate • Administer normal replacement fluids (e.g. 1/2 NS at 75 ml/hr) • Replacing fluids at a rate greater than replacement level will only exacerbate the solute diuresis
