GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Diabetes insipidus is caused by problems with a chemical called vasopressin (AVP), which is also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH). AVP is produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland until needed. The hypothalamus is an area of the brain that controls mood and appetite.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diabetes insipidus is caused by a lack of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin, which prevents dehydration, or the kidney’s inability to respond to ADH. ADH enables the kidneys to retain water in the body. The hormone is produced in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disease process that results in either decreased release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also known as vasopressin or AVP) or decreased response to ADH, causing electrolyte imbalances.

Detailed explanation-4: -Diabetes insipidus happens when your body doesn’t make enough antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or your kidneys don’t use it properly. Your body needs ADH to retain appropriate amounts of water. Without ADH, your body loses water through urine. Diabetes mellitus is much more common than diabetes insipidus.
