| Abstract |
|
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is a congenital hereditary disorders in which the kidney do
not respond to vasopressin, and the disease occurs principally in males and is probably
inherited by Xlinked recessive mode.
We experienced two cases of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus occurred in brothers. The
clinical manifestations were extreme thirst and frequent urination of large volume of dilute
urine, approximately 5,500ml per day with specific gravity 1.000. The diagnosis was made
by water restriction and pitressin test. Administration of chlorothizide diuretics in combination
with reduced sodium intake led to reduction in urinary volume and to increased urinaryconcentration.
We report neprogenic diabetes insipidus with brief review of literatures.
