Q

What can you see in the lab results of patient with D.I?

A
  1. Hypernatremia
  2. High Plasma Osmolality
  3. Low Specific Gravity <1.005
    —> because patient’s urine is DILUTED!
  4. Possible Wate depraviation Test Desmopressin
17
Q

how do you do the ADH STIMULATION TEST a.k.a Water Depraviation Test

A

assessing the patient’s ability to concentrate urine when fluid is witheld

After VASOPRESSIN INJECTION:

1 Urine becomes concentrated = NEUROGENIC DI

  1. No change =
    NEPHROGENIC DI / Psychogenic Polydipsia (compulsive behavior od drinking too much fluid)
