What are electrolytes



        Diabetes Insipidus ( DI) should not be confused with Diabetes Mellitus.
       Diabetes Insipidus is caused by a lack of ADH ( antidiuretic hormone).
Surgical intervention may cause this problem.                                

Patients  who develop DI, dump large quantities of dilute urine.
      If left untreated , dehydration may occur.  DDAVP is used to correct
                            the problem.  See above image for more helpful information.
