Q

2 forms of diabetes Insipidus
- ______genic (central)
- ______genic

A
  • Neurogenic (central)
  • Nephrogenic
99
Q

Patho ___________
SNS stimulation = excessive release of epinephrine and norepinephrine

A

Pheochromocytoma

100
Q

Would desmopressin “DDAVP” work in
for
neurogenic DI? WHY
nephrogenic DI? WHY
What drug would be helpful for nephrogenic DI? WHY

A

Yes - with neurogenic, the hypothalamus or pituitary gland are having problems, which results in a lack of ADH. DDAVP is a ADH replacement, so that would be appropriate.

No – with nephrogenic, the issue is with the kidney, not with a lack of ADH, so adding more ADH wouldn’t be helpful since the kidneys cant function/respond to it.

Thiazide diuretics
b/c DI is characterized by – excessive loss of water via the urine
Paradoxical effect = decreases polyuria, increases urine osmolality
