Diabetes insipidus Physiological

Physiological diabetes insipidus (d. insipidus physiologicus) is a condition in which the body excretes a large amount of urine with low specific gravity. This occurs due to impaired reabsorption of water in the renal tubules.

Physiological diabetes insipidus develops under the following conditions:

1. At high body temperature, when the body tries to cool itself by sweating and excreting a large volume of urine.

2. When taking a large amount of liquid, when the kidneys do not have time to reabsorb it.

3. With stress and strong emotions, which stimulate the release of the hormone vasopressin.

4. For traumatic brain injuries, brain tumors that disrupt the production of vasopressin.

5. During pregnancy, when hormonal levels change.

This type of diabetes is temporary and goes away after the causes that caused it are eliminated. Usually no treatment is required; it is enough to normalize the drinking regime and avoid dehydration.

Diabetes Physiological Insipidus Occurs when the body is unable to produce enough antidiuretic hormone from the pituitary gland. As a result, excessive sodium excretion in the urine leads to water loss and decreased hydration levels. Physiological diabetes insipidus usually does not cause serious complications and can be completely cured with the right medication regimen.
