Abstract

Annotation: Diabetes insipidus is a disease characterized by the inability of the kidneys to reabsorb water and concentrate urine. According to the classification, there are three main types of diabetes insipidus: central, nephrogenic, primary polydipsia. Other rarer types of diabetes insipidus should also be remembered: gestational, functional (pediatric), iatrogenic. The pathogenesis of central diabetes insipidus is associated with impaired secretion or action of vasopressin on V2 receptors.
