Diabetes Insipidus is a disorder that is characterized by intense thirst and a greatly increased output of diluted urine.
Most people develop diabetes insipidus in early childhood or early adulthood.
It is commonly found in more males than females. It has a tendency to develop after surgery, illness or a major head injury. Urination is frequently increased causing you to crave liquids, especially cold water, in great quantities. If you are unable to keep up with your body's demand for liquids or if an accident or illness prevents you from drinking sufficient quantities, you may become dehydrated. Patients with diabtetes insipidus may need to urinate every 30 minutes to an hour throughout the day and night.
