What is diabetes insipidus?

Diabetes insipidus is a disease which occurs as a result of the body being unable to handle fluid properly.

Frequent urination and constant thirst results due to the inability of the body to reabsorb water in the kidneys.

The pituitary gland located near the hypothalamus is responsible for producing the hormone ADH which helps in fluid reabsorption.

Therefore, the nurse should expect to find lesions affecting the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland.
