A

Pregnancy

26
Q

A transient disease resulting from acute injury with neuronal shock and edema leading to cessation of vasopressin secretion.

Central Diabetes insipidus

27
Q

It is the result of a generalized defect in either the V2 class of vasopressin receptors or the aquoparin-2 water channel of the renal collecting ducts

A

Familial nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

28
Q

Drug-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus appears to result from sensitivity of the vasopressin receptor to ____,_____, and _____

lithium
fluoride
other salts

29
Q

How many % of patients treated with these drugs in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus?

A

12-30%

30
Q

These are common among patient with complications of pregnancy.

A

Diabetes insipidus-like syndromes

31
Q

T/F:
The Diabetes insipidus-like syndromes appears due to excessive vasopressinase release from the placenta into the plasma which selectively degrade vasopressin.

A

True

32
Q

It is due to the secretion or vasopressin in excess of what is appropriate for hyperosmolality or intravascular volume depletion.

A

Syndrome of inappropriate vasopressin secretion (SIADH)

33
