Best Doctors for Diabetes Insipidus in Guntur

Diabetes insipidus, also termed arginine vasopressin, is detailed as a condition causing excessive loss of urine and increased thirst. This occurs as the body may not be able to retain enough water. The causative factors of diabetes insipidus include arginine vasopressin deficiency and arginine vasopressin resistance. The presenting complaints of diabetes insipidus include passing urine in increased amounts or polyuria, passing urine frequently and throughout the night and polydipsia (excessive thirst). The symptoms of diabetes insipidus in children are fever, dehydration, vomiting, irritability, failure to thrive and constipation. Diabetes insipidus is diagnosed by conducting tests such as blood glucose test, copeptin test, urinalysis and MRI scan to identify damage to the pituitary gland. The treatment options to manage diabetes insipidus involve taking medications like thiazide diuretics, NSAIDs and desmopressin, treating the underlying causative factor, adjusting water intake and hydrating the body properly. If left untreated, this condition of diabetes insipidus can cause severe dehydration, which can become life threatening.
