Diabetes Insipidus
Failure of renal water resorption due either to reduced production of vasopressin (Neurogenic diabetes insipidus) or reduced sensitivity to vasopressin (Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus). Anesthetic considerations are related to risk of hypovolaemia, hypernatremia, and hypokalemia. Neurogenic diabetes insipidus will respond to desmopressin DDAVP whereas nephrogenic diabetes insipidus will not. refl.in/ip
