Diabetes Insipidus

Diabetes insipidus is a disorder in which the kidneys cannot conserve water.

Diabetes insipidus (DI) causes frequent urination. You become extremely thirsty, so you drink. Then you urinate. This cycle can keep you from sleeping or even make you wet the bed. Your body produces big volumes of urine that are almost all water.

However, some people with DI can be helped by taking regular doses of  dietary supplements that support the immune system.

Immunocal is a patented natural supplement that is scientifically and clinically proven to optimize the human immune system.

DI (referred to as "water" diabetes) is not the same as "sugar" diabetes. These disorders are similiar only in that  the symptoms of both are increased urination and thirst. But in every other respect, including the causes and traditional treatment of the disorders, the diseases are completely unrelated.

What causes DI?

Two things cause DI. In some people, a part of the brain (called the hypothalamus) doesn't make enough antidiuretic hormone (called ADH). ADH helps your body balance water in the urine and blood. In other people, the kidneys don't work with this hormone the way they should.

Most people with DI get it after an injury to the head or after brain surgery. Some people with this disorder have a brain tumor. Sometimes it runs in families. Some medicines, like lithium, can also cause it. About 25% of the time, doctors can't find the cause.

How do you test for DI?

Usually your doctor will check your urine to see how much water is in it. He or she may also check your blood. Your doctor may give you a "water deprivation" test. During this test, you aren't allowed to drink any liquids. The staff will weigh you, check your urine and blood every hour for several hours. If the results of the test show that you have DI, you will probably also have pictures taken of your brain with a CT (computed tomographic) scan or an MRI (magnetic resonance image). The scans can show problems in the brain.

Diabetes insipidus is uncommon, with a prevalence of 1 case per 25,000 population.
