All about an uncommon condition which can hit at any age

It occurs when the kidneys are not able to store water during the blood filtering process due to the lack of anti-diuretic hormone which controls the amount of water to be conserved by the kidney or when the kidneys are not able to respond to ADH.Lack of ADH or Central diabetes Insipidus can be caused by damage to hypothalamus or pituitary gland and can also be genetic. Failure of kidney response or Nephrogenic diabetes Insipidus can be caused by certain drugs, high calcium levels, or a kidney disease and can also be genetic.
