Clinical Outcome • Discharged stable on the 24th hospital day
POLYURIA • Polyuria can be arbitrarily defined as a urine output exceeding 3 L/day in adults and 2 L/m2 in children • Causes • Primary polydipsia • Central Diabetes Insipidus • Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
Diagnostic Approach to Polyuria • Onset of polyuria • Family history • Plasma Na concentration • Na <137 meq/L, due to water overload, is usually indicative of primary polydipsia • Na >142 meq/L, due to water loss, points toward DI • Water restriction test • Plasma ADH measurement
Solute Diuresis • Glucosuria • High-protein feedings • Volume expansion due to saline loading • Differentiated from diabetes insipidus • Water diuresis Uosm <250 • Solute diuresis Uosm >300 mosmol/kg • Total solute excretion markedly increased
Central Diabetes Insipidus • Decreased release of ADH • Lack of ADH can be caused by disorders that act at one or more of the sites involved in ADH secretion: • hypothalamic osmoreceptors • supraoptic or paraventricular nuclei • superior portion of the supraopticohypophyseal tract
Etiology of central diabetes insipidus • Idiopathic • Neurosurgery a. Craniopharyngioma b. Transphenoidal surgery • Head trauma • Hypoxic or ischemic encephalopathy a. Cardiopulmonary arrest b. Shock c. Sheehan syndrome • Neoplastic a. Primary : craniopharyngioma, cyst, pinealoma b. Metastatic : breast, lung • Miscellaneous
Review of Literature SYSTEMIC CANCER PRESENTING AS DIABETES INSIPIDUS - Clinical and radiographic features of 11 patients with a review of metastatic-induced diabetes insipidus “…of 100 consecutive cases of DI of any cause, diabetes insipidus was the initial presentation in 11 patients with systemic cancer. In these 11 patients, the most common sources metastatic to the posterior pituitary-hypothalamic region were lung, breast, leukemia and lymphoma. CT scanning demonstrated pituitary stalk enlargement, suprasellar masses, or both…” Kimmel D.W., O'Neill B.P., Systemic cancer presenting as diabetes insipidus.

Review of Literature PITUITARY METASTASIS IN BREAST CARCINOMA “…the incidence of metastasis to pituitary in breast cancer is reported as0.95%. Breast cancer and lung cancer are the most common primary sites, in women and men respectively, which metastasize to the pituitary. The presenting symptoms include diabetes insipidus, anterior pituitary insufficiency and retro-orbital pain. Metastases to the posterior lobe are more common than to the anterior lobe...” Rao SR, Rao RS, Pituitary metastases in carcinoma breast. Shushrusha Hospital, Mumbai, India.
