Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus


Overview

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus occurs when the body can't regulate how it handles fluids. This type of diabetes insipidus is caused by a defect in the kidney tubules, where water is excreted and reabsorbed.

Symptoms

Symptoms include extreme thirst and an excessive amount of diluted urine.

Treatments

People who have neutropenia are vulnerable to infection. Avoidance of anyone with a cold and good hygiene can help.
