As a result, the patient passes large volumes of a hypotonic urine. There is also the disease, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, in which sufficient amounts of ADH are produced, but the collecting tubules of the nephrons are insensitive to its action. On the other hand, clinical disturbances have been described in which the hypothalamic center of thirst is persistently affected and thirst sensation disappears or increases.1In the case of hyperdipsia, the increased water intake inhibits the release...Bibliography1.
