  1. Diabetes Insipidus in Canines Lauren Liba Eric Malarney

  2. What is Diabetes Insipidus??? • A disorder of water imbalance • This disorder is a completely different disease from diabetes mellitus, which is a disorder of glucose metabolism involving the hormone insulin

  3. What is Diabetes Insipidus??? • The animal is unable to concentrate urine • The urine volume is high and very dilute • The urine is odorless (insipid), not sweet smelling as in diabetes mellitus • The disease is rare in canines and felines • The condition is usually permanent, but with proper treatment, the prognosis is good

  4. Types of Diabetes Insipidus Central Diabetes Insipidus • Caused by the destruction of cells within the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus which result in a deficiency in of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) • Can also be due to the loss of the ducts (axons) that transport (ADH) to the posterior pituitary

  5. Hypothalamus x x Supraoptic Nucleus No production of antidiurectic hormone (ADH) Paraventricular Nucleus Ant. Pit. Posterior Pituitary

  6. Hypothalamus Supraoptic Nucleus x Loss of ducts to the posterior pituitary - No antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Paraventricular Nucleus Ant. Pit. Posterior Pituitary

  7. Other Causes of Central Diabetes Insipidus • Congenital Defect • Trauma • Tumor of the pituitary gland • Unknown cause

  8. Types of Diabetes Insipidus Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus • Caused when the kidneys do not respond to antidiurtetic hormone (ADH) • Can be caused by congenital defects, drugs, or other metabolic disorders

  9. Posterior Pituitary Nourine concentration (ADH) X

  10. Differential Diagnoses • Hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing’s Disease) • Diabetes Mellitus • Hyperthyroidism (in felines) • Renal Failure • Liver Disease • Pyometra • Hypercalcemia of malignancy • Hyperparathyroidism

  11. Signs of Diabetes Insipidus • Polyuria • Polydipsia • Dehydration - which can lead to stupor, coma, and even death if untreated • Housebroken canines urinating indoors

  12. Treatment of Central Diabetes Insipidus • Treated with desmopressin (DDAVP) via intranasal drops, eyedrops, or subcutaneous injections

  13. Treatment of Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus • Treat with a thiazide drug, chlorothiazide, or an oral drug, chloropropamide • NSAIDs can also be used • Regardless of treatment, water must ALWAYS be available

  14. Diagnostic Tests • Images of pituitary gland should be taken if possible • Water deprivation test • An ADH trial with the drug desmopression (trade name DDAVP)

  15. Additional Facts • Very rare disease, particularly central diabetes insipidus (a study in JAVMA found only 43 cases of CDI from 1986 to 1995 at UC-Davis and Purdue) • No breed predilections • Age does not appear to be a factor JAVMA, Vol 209, No. 11, December 1, 1996

  16. Central Diabetes Insipidus Case Study: • Eddie • Pointer mix • NM • 4 years old

  17. Chief Complaint • Inappropriate urination, polyuria/polydipsia one week duration • Physical exam otherwise normal • Consider behavioral issues

  18. Polyuria and polydipsia

  19. Polyuria and polydipsia

  20. Polyuria and polydipsia questionable present

  21. Polyuria and polydipsia Polyuria and polydipsia questionable present Monitor water intake and SG

  22. Polyuria and polydipsia questionable present Monitor water intake and SG normal Consider incontinence

  23. Polyuria and polydipsia questionable present Differential diagnosis abnormal Monitor water intake and SG normal Consider incontinence

  24. Polyuria and polydipsia questionable present Differential diagnosis abnormal Monitor water intake and SG CBC Serum chem UA normal Consider incontinence

  25. Polyuria and polydipsia questionable present Differential diagnosis abnormal Monitor water intake and SG CBC Serum chem UA normal Consider incontinence Consider hyperadrenocorticism

  26. Polyuria and polydipsia questionable present Differential diagnosis abnormal Monitor water intake and SG CBC Serum chem UA normal Consider incontinence Consider hyperadrenocorticism normal Water Deprivation Test

  27. Lab Test Results • Consistent with Diabetes Insipidus: • Normal serum chem and CBC or values consistent with mild dehydration • Increased PCV, TP and Na • Urinalysis: normal except specific gravity • Below 1.025 • Normal radiography

  28. Abrupt Water Deprivation Test • Empty urinary bladder and measure urine specific gravity • Weigh animal • Withhold food and water • Every 2-4 hours, reweigh animal, empty urinary bladder and measure specific gravity

  29. Gradual Water Deprivation Test • Quantify daily unrestricted water consumption • Measure urine specific gravity and weigh animal • Reduce water intake by 5% daily • Weigh animal and measure specific gravity daily

  30. Deprivation Test Outcomes • Stop the test when: • The animal loses more than 5% of its body weight • The animal is clinically dehydrated or ill • The urine specific gravity exceeds 1.025

  31. Lab tests Dehydration, azotemia, hypercalcemia?

  32. Lab tests Dehydration, azotemia, hypercalcemia? yes

  33. Lab tests Dehydration, azotemia, hypercalcemia? yes Water deprivation

  34. Lab tests Dehydration, azotemia, hypercalcemia? yes no Water deprivation

  35. Lab tests Dehydration, azotemia, hypercalcemia? yes no Water Deprivation Test Water deprivation

  36. Lab tests Dehydration, azotemia, hypercalcemia? yes no Water Deprivation Test Water deprivation Concentrated urine?

  37. Lab tests Dehydration, azotemia, hypercalcemia? yes no Water Deprivation Test Water deprivation Concentrated urine? yes Find underlying cause- nervous, behavioral

  38. Lab tests Dehydration, azotemia, hypercalcemia? yes no Water Deprivation Test Water deprivation Concentrated urine? yes no Find underlying cause- nervous, behavioral Give ADH

  39. ADH Response Test • Immediately following water deprivation test administer aqueous vasopressin • Withhold all food and water • Empty bladder and measure urine specific at 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes

  40. Therapeutic ADH Trial • Administer intranasal preparation of DDAVP in conjunctival sac (1 to 4 drops q12h) for 3-5 days • Should see a dramatic reduction in water intake if central diabetes insipidus is present

  41. Urine is not concentrated after water deprivation Give ADH (DDAVP)

  42. Urine is not concentrated after water deprivation Give ADH (DDAVP) Concentrated Not concentrated

  43. Urine is not concentrated after water deprivation Give ADH (DDAVP) Concentrated Not concentrated Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

  44. Urine is not concentrated after water deprivation Give ADH (DDAVP) Concentrated Not concentrated Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus Pursue further renal testing

  45. Urine is not concentrated after water deprivation Give ADH (DDAVP) Concentrated Not concentrated EDDIE Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus Central Diabetes Insipidus Pursue further renal testing

  46. Urine is not concentrated after water deprivation Give ADH (DDAVP) Concentrated Not concentrated EDDIE Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus Central Diabetes Insipidus Pursue further renal testing Find underlying cause

  47. Treatments • Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) • Aqueous solution or oral tablets • Best solution, but expensive • Hydrochlorothiazide • Diruretic • Not as effective as DDAVP • Chlopropamide • Hypoglycemic agent • Only if ADH deficiency is partial
