Abstract
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus associated with ureteral obstruction is rare. We report a case of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus associated with ureteral obstruction caused by ileal leiomyosarcoma in a 32-year-old man. The treatment with trichlorothiazide and diclofenac sodium reduced urine output from 8 L/day to 4 L/day. Six months after nephrostomy, urine output decreased to 2.5 L/day without any drug administration. This case suggests that ureteral obstruction may cause an increase in urine output to 8 L/day and that surgical treatment for ureteral obstruction is effective in reducing urine output in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus patients with ureteral obstruction.
