MICROANATOMY

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: -What causes diabetes insipidus. Diabetes insipidus is caused by problems with a hormone called vasopressin (AVP), also called antidiuretic hormone (ADH). AVP plays a key role in regulating the amount of fluid in the body. It’s produced by specialist nerve cells in a part of the brain known as the hypothalamus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gestational diabetes Insipidus is caused by an increased concentration of placental vasopressinase, which destroys the mother’s ADH. This leads to large amounts of dilute urine. ADH: antidiuretic hormone; AQP2: aquaporin-2 receptors; PKA: protein kinase A.

Detailed explanation-5: -Posterior lobe of the pituitary in diabetes insipidus: MR findings.
