4Types of Diabetes Insipidus 1) Neurogenic-also known as
central hypothalamic
pituitary
neurohypophyseal
Caused by a deficiency of the
Antidiuretic hormone,
vasopressin
2) Nephrogenic-also knownas
Vasopressin - resistant Caused by insensitivity of
the kidneys to the effect of
the antidiuretic hormone,
vasopressin
3) Gestagenic-also
known as
Gestestional
Caused by a deficiency
of the antidiuretic
hormone, vasopressin,
that occurs only during
pregnancy
4) Dipsogenic, a form
of primary polydipsis
Caused by
Abnormal thirst and the
Excessive intake of water
or other liquids

Diagnosis - Fluid Deprivation Test(To identify cause of polyuria)
Baseline VS, then check hourly-allows RN todetect changes, esp postural hypotensin &
tachycardia
Deprive pt of fluid-Observe for compliance withfluid restriction
Hourly- urinary output, specific gravity, &
osmololity
Urine test results determine whether testing
can proceed.
Testing can proceed if urinary osmolality
stabilized for 3 samples and 3% wt loss is noted

Dx- Vasopressin challenge
Order for 5 Units of aqueous vasopressin sc Continue hourly urinary measurements
Vasopressin triggers and ongoing assessment
detects Changes in urinary specific gravity andosmolality
Specific gravity & osmolality decrease with
primary and secondary diabetes insipidus No response is seen with nephrogenic diabetes

Diabetes insipidus treatment
Vasopressin (Pitressin) : is ADH
Classification: Hormone (antidiuretic)
Uses: Treatment of central diabetes insipidus sue to
deficient antidiuretic hormone.
Route/Dose: IM, sc, nasal spray Nsg Implications:
replace fluid: saline and glucose
monitor I & O
check specific gravity
observe electrolytes
Monitor adverse reactions-abdominal cramps, angina,
MI

Diabetes insipidus treatment
Desmopressin (DDAVP)
Classification: Hormone (andiuretic)
Indication: Management of primary nocturnal eneuresis
unresponsive to other treatment modalities
po, sc, IV, Intranasal
Action: An anologue of naturally occuring vasopressin
(antiuretic hormone). Primary action is enhanced reabsorptionof water in the kidneys
Therapeutic Effects: Prevention of nocturnal enuresis.
Maintenace of appropriate body water content in diabetes
insipidus. Nsg Implication: Monitor urine & plasma osmola l i ty& urine
vo lumefrequently. Assess pt for symptoms of dehydrat ion
(excessive thirst, dry skin & mucous membranes, tachycardia,
poor skin turgor) Weigh pt daily & assess for edema

Nursing Issues Fluid and electrolyte imbalance:
R/T >diuresis,
monitor urine and plasma osmolarity
monitor specific gravity (usually will be low with >diuresis)
monitor urine volume (usually will be high 5-10L in 24 hr)
Therapy successful when urine output and specific gravitybegin to return to normal
monitor s/s dehydration
weight pt daily & assess for edema
Fluid vo lume def ic it
Nurse will monitor for hypotension, constipation, shock

Nursing Management
Nursing priorities in the care of the
patient with DI are directed toward:
Administering fluids and medications.
Evaluating response to therapy.
Maintaining surveillance for complications.
Providing patient and family education.

Actions/Interventions Rationale
Allow the patient to drink water at will. Patients with intact thirst mechanisms may maintain fluid balance
by drinking huge quantities of water to compensate for the amount
they urinate. Patients prefer cold or ice water.
Provide easily accessible fluid source, keeping adequate fluids at
bedside.
This encourages fluid intake.
Administer intravenous (IV) fluids: IV fluids are indicated if the patient cannot take in sufficient fluids
orally.
5% dextrose in water or 0.45% sodium chloride Hypotonic IV fluids provide free water and help lower serum sodium
levels gradually.
0.9% sodium chloride Isotonic fluids may be indicated for the patient who has sustained
significant fluid loss and is hemodynamically unstable. Once
circulatory volume has been restored, hypotonic IV fluids can be
given.
Administer medication as prescribed. Aqueous vasopressin is usually used for DI of short duration (e.g.,
postoperative neurosurgery or head trauma). Pitressin tannate(vasopressin) in oil (the longer-acting vasopressin) is used for
longer-term DI. Patients with milder forms of DI may use
chlorpropamide (Diabinese), clofibrate (Atromid), or carbamazepine
(Tegretol) to stimulate release of ADH from the posterior pituitary
and enhance its action on the renal tubules. Hydrochlorothiazide
(HydroDIURIL) may also be used for nephrogenic DI.
If vasopressin is given, monitor for water intoxication or rebound
hyponatremia.
Overmedication can result in volume excess.
