A Rare Type Of Diabetes- Diabetes Insipidus
By Groshan Fabiola
One of the most rare medical conditions is insipidus. The immediate cause of this condition is excessive thirst and frequent passage of urine that is very diluted. The condition, insipidus is cause by a hormone deficiency in your pituitary gland, found at the base of your brain.

This hormone that cause insipidus is the anti diuretic hormone. Its role is to prevent your kidney from excessive production of urine. However, there is also another cause of insipidus. Your brain may produce this hormone, but it can often happen that your kidneys not respond to this hormone. So as you see, insipidus is either cause by the lack of the anti diuretic hormone of the un normal response of your kidneys to this hormone.

There are also some their causes that can lead to insipidus: a tumor of your pituitary gland. This is the gland that release the anti diuretic hormone. If you have an injury to your head that somehow damaged this gland as well, the this can also be a cause of insipidus. Brain tumors, encephalitis, meningitis are also some of the things that may cause insipidus. Kidney



problems or hemorrhage in your head or pituitary gland can also be some of the cause of this type of diabetes. Unfortunately, there are no known ways that can help you prevent this type.

The most common of all insipidus symptoms is excessive thirst. This is a very difficult symptoms, because this thirst can not actually be satisfied. Another sign is the passage of excessive quantities of urine, that is also very diluted and has no color. Dehydration is another sign of insipidus. This can also be more thought of as a result of this particular type. Low pressure of your blood, an increased heart rate and even shock can be the results of this symptom. If you thought that the symptoms of insipidus ended here, you thought wrong! Constipation can also be one of the insipidus symptoms together with bed wetting. However, this last sign is not that common.

Because insipidus is highly related to the pituitary gland and to your brain, any tumor found in those areas can mean a risk factor in insipidus. Furthermore, any injury to the head of infection in this area can also be thought as risk factors of this type.
