Your kidneys help maintain equilibrium that your fluid regulation process is functioning correctly. Fluids are removed by the kidneys. Until you pee, this waste is stored in your bladder as urine. The body can also rid itself of some amount of fluids through breathing, perspiration or diarrhea.

A hormone called antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or vasopressin, helps control how fast or slow fluids must be excreted. ADH consists of part of the brain known as the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland, a small gland found at the brain’s bottom.

Fluid levels cannot be properly balanced in case of those with diabetes insipidus. The cause varies depending on the type of diabetes insipidus. A proper nursing care plan for diabetes insipidus must be taken in order to avoid any risks and dangers.

This flaw makes your kidneys not able to respond to ADH. The flaw could be caused by an inherited genetic disease or a chronic kidney disease.

  • Gestational Diabetes Insipidus – Gestational diabetes insipidus happens only through pregnancy and effects when an enzyme created by the placenta destroys ADH from the mother. The placenta is the system of blood vessels. The placenta allows the exchange of nutrients and waste products between foetus and mother.

Most instances of diabetes insipidus may be treated with desmopressin. In rare situations, however, diabetes insipidus is caused by an abnormality at the desired mechanism, and desmopressin shouldn’t be used. In a few of the cases, there is no obvious source of diabetes insipidus. Nonetheless, for a few, the disorder might be a consequence of an autoimmune response which causes damage in the system cells that create vasopressin.  A proper nursing care plan for diabetes insipidus must be taken in order to avoid any risks and dangers.
