Rein JL, Mackie K, Kleyman TR, Satlin LM. Cannabinoid receptor type 1 activation causes a water diuresis by inducing an acute central diabetes insipidus in mice. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 2024; 326:F917-F930. [PMID: 38634131 DOI: 10.1152/ajprenal.00320.2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Cannabis and synthetic cannabinoid consumption are increasing worldwide. Cannabis contains numerous phytocannabinoids that act on the G protein-coupled cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R) and cannabinoid receptor type 2 expressed throughout the body, including the kidney. Essentially every organ, including the kidney, produces endocannabinoids, which are endogenous ligands to these receptors. Cannabinoids acutely increase urine output in rodents and humans, thus potentially influencing total body water and electrolyte homeostasis. As the kidney collecting duct (CD) regulates total body water, acid/base, and electrolyte balance through specific functions of principal cells (PCs) and intercalated cells (ICs), we examined the cell-specific immunolocalization of CB1R in the mouse CD. Antibodies against either the C-terminus or N-terminus of CB1R consistently labeled aquaporin 2 (AQP2)-negative cells in the cortical and medullary CD and thus presumably ICs. Given the well-established role of ICs in urinary acidification, we used a clearance approach in mice that were acid loaded with 280 mM NH4Cl for 7 days and nonacid-loaded mice treated with the cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN55,212-2 (WIN) or a vehicle control. Although WIN had no effect on urinary acidification, these WIN-treated mice had less apical + subapical AQP2 expression in PCs compared with controls and developed acute diabetes insipidus associated with the excretion of large volumes of dilute urine. Mice maximally concentrated their urine when WIN and 1-desamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin [desmopressin (DDAVP)] were coadministered, consistent with central rather than nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Although ICs express CB1R, the physiological role of CB1R in this cell type remains to be determined.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The CB1R agonist WIN55,212-2 induces central diabetes insipidus in mice. This research integrates existing knowledge regarding the diuretic effects of cannabinoids and the influence of CB1R on vasopressin secretion while adding new mechanistic insights about total body water homeostasis. Our findings provide a deeper understanding about the potential clinical impact of cannabinoids on human physiology and may help identify targets for novel therapeutics to treat water and electrolyte disorders such as hyponatremia and volume overload.

Psychopathological characteristics in patients with arginine vasopressin deficiency (central diabetes insipidus) and primary polydipsia compared to healthy controls. Eur J Endocrinol 2024; 190:354-362. [PMID: 38551325 DOI: 10.1093/ejendo/lvae040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Distinguishing arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D; central diabetes insipidus) from primary polydipsia (PP), commonly referred to as psychogenic polydipsia, is challenging. Psychopathologic findings, commonly used for PP diagnosis in clinical practice, are rarely evaluated in AVP-D patients, and no comparative data between the two conditions currently exist. DESIGN Data from two studies involving 82 participants [39 AVP-D, 28 PP, and 15 healthy controls (HC)]. METHODS Psychological evaluations were conducted using standardized questionnaires measuring anxiety [State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)], alexithymia [Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20)], depressive symptoms (Beck's Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and overall mental health [Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36)]. Higher STAI, TAS-20, and BDI-II scores suggest elevated anxiety, alexithymia, and depression, while higher SF-36 scores signify better overall mental health. RESULTS Compared to HC, patients with AVP-D and PP showed higher levels of anxiety (HC 28 points [24-31] vs AVP-D 36 points [31-45]; vs PP 38 points [33-46], P < .01), alexithymia (HC 30 points [29-37] vs AVP-D 43 points [35-54]; vs PP 46 points [37-55], P < .01), and depression (HC 1 point [0-2] vs AVP-D 7 points [4-14]; vs PP 7 points [3-13], P < .01). Levels of anxiety, alexithymia, and depression showed no difference between both patient groups (P = .58, P = .90, P = .50, respectively). Compared to HC, patients with AVP-D and PP reported similarly reduced self-reported overall mental health scores (HC 84 [68-88] vs AVP-D 60 [52-80], P = .05; vs PP 60 [47-74], P < .01). CONCLUSION This study reveals heightened anxiety, alexithymia, depression, and diminished overall mental health in patients with AVP-D and PP. The results emphasize the need for careful interpretation of psychopathological characteristics to differentiate between AVP-D and PP.

Abstract
Central diabetes insipidus is a rare disorder characterized by a deficiency of vasopressin. The first line drug to treat this disorder is a synthetic analogue of vasopressin, desmopressin.The primary aim of this retrospective register study was to compare desmopressin dose requirements in patients with acquired and congenital DI, and secondly to assess the influence of BMI on dose requirement and risk of hyponatremia with different drug administrations. We included all patients with suspected DI attending the endocrine department at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark in 2022. We identified 222 patients who were included whereof 130/222 (58.6%) were females and median age was 53 years (IQR 35 to 63). The etiology included 7/222 (3.2%) congenital and 215/222 (96.8%) acquired. After converting nasal and sublingual doses to equivalent oral doses, the median daily dose requirement was 600 μg in patients with congenital etiology compared to 200 μg in patients with acquired etiology (p=0.005). We found no association between BMI and desmopressin dose requirements (p=0.6). During the past 12 months, 66/215 (30.7%) had sodium levels<136 mmol/l including 20/215 (9.3%) with sodium levels<131 mmol/l. No increased risk of hyponatremia was found, when nasal and oral were compared (p=0.9). Daily desmopressin dose requirements were higher in patients with congenital DI compared to patients with acquired DI. However, this result was associated with uncertainty due to the small congenital group. BMI did not influence daily dose requirements and nor did type of administration influence the risk of hyponatremia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary polydipsia is characterized by excessive fluid intake which may suppress vasopressin levels. It is speculated that suppressed vasopressin levels lead to a dysregulated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis as vasopressin co-modulates the HPA axis. However, data are contradictory. The aim of this study was to investigate markers of the HPA axis in patients with primary polydipsia compared to healthy controls. DESIGN Exploratory analysis combining data from two different prospective observational studies. PATIENTS We included 34 patients with primary polydipsia (68% females, median aged 29.5 years (interquartile range, IQR: 26.0, 38.8) and 20 healthy controls (55% females, median age 24.0 years [IQR: 22.0, 27.2]). MEASUREMENTS The main outcome was difference in HPA axis activity assessed using circadian serum and salivary cortisol, 24-h urinary free cortisol and cortisol levels before and after adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation; vasopressin suppression was assessed measuring fasting copeptin levels between patients with primary polydipsia and healthy controls using Wilcoxon rank-sum test. RESULTS No difference was seen in circadian serum cortisol levels (p = .9), urinary free cortisol levels (p = .17) and serum cortisol in response to ACTH stimulation (p = .77) between groups. Circadian salivary cortisol levels were significantly lower in patients with primary polydipsia compared to healthy controls with an estimated difference of -3.7 nmol/L (95% CI: -5.5, -1.8 nmol/L, p < .001). Fasting copeptin levels were significantly lower in patients with primary polydipsia compared to healthy volunteers (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Our results suggest no difference in HPA axis activity between patients with primary polydipsia and healthy controls. The observed difference in salivary cortisol levels may be linked to a dilution effect in saliva rather than an altered stress axis considering the other findings.

Transient diabetes insipidus in critically ill COVID19 patients. J Crit Care 2023; 74:154211.

Abstract
PURPOSE Vasopressin has become an important vasopressor drug while treating a critically ill patient to maintain adequate mean arterial pressure. Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare syndrome characterized by the excretion of a large volume of diluted urine, inappropriate for water homeostasis. We noticed that several COVID19 patients developed excessive polyuria suggestive of DI, with a concomitant plasma sodium-level increase and/or low urine osmolality. We noticed a temporal relationship between vasopressin treatment cessation and polyuria periods. We reviewed those cases to better describe this phenomenon. METHODS We retrospectively collected COVID19 ECMO patients' (from July 6, 2020, to November 30, 2021) data from the electronic medical records. By examining urine output, urine osmolality (if applicable), plasma sodium level, and plasma osmolality, we set DI diagnosis. We described the clinical course of DI episodes and compared baseline characteristics between patients who developed DI and those who did not. RESULTS Out of 37 patients, 12 had 18 episodes of DI. These patients were 7 years younger and had lower severity scores (APACHE-II and SOFA). Mortality difference was not seen between groups. 17 episodes occurred after vasopressin discontinuation; 14 episodes were treated with vasopressin reinstitution. DI lasted for a median of 21 h, with a median increase of 14 mEq/L of sodium. CONCLUSIONS Temporary DI prevalence after vasopressin discontinuation in COVID19 ECMO patients might be higher than previously described for vasopressin-treated patients.

Abstract
Changes in serum sodium concentrations are frequently encountered by anesthesiologists, are complex and are often inadequately treated. Feared consequences include neurological complications, such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral edema and coma. Dysnatremia is always accompanied disturbances in the water balance. Accordingly, these are routinely classified based on the tonicity; however, in the daily routine and especially in the acute setting, the volume status and extracellular volume are often difficult to assess. Severe symptomatic hyponatremia with impending cerebral edema is treated by administration of hypertonic saline solution. If the rise in serum sodium is too rapid, there is a risk of central pontine myelinolysis. In a second step, the cause of the hyponatremia can be investigated and the appropriate treatment can be initiated. In the case of hypernatremia, the etiology of the disorder must be clarified before treatment. The goal is to compensate for the water deficiency by correcting the cause, specific volume therapy and, if necessary, drug support. A slow and controlled compensation must be closely monitored in order to avoid neurological complications. An algorithm has been developed that provides an overview of the dysnatremias, aids with making the diagnosis and gives recommendations for treatment measures in the clinical routine.

Abstract
Serum sodium disorders are generally a marker of water balance in the body. Thus, hypernatremia is most often caused by an overall deficit of total body water. Other unique circumstances may lead to excess salt, without an impact on the body's total water volume. Hypernatremia is commonly acquired in both the hospital and community. As hypernatremia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, treatment should be initiated promptly. In this review, we will discuss the pathophysiology and management of the main types of hypernatremia, which can be categorized as either a loss of water or gain of sodium that can be mediated by renal or extrarenal mechanisms.

Abstract
Disruption of water and electrolyte balance is frequently encountered in clinical medicine. Regulating water metabolism is critically important. Diabetes insipidus (DI) presented with excessive water loss from the kidney is a major disorder of water metabolism. To understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms and pathophysiology of DI and rationales of clinical management of DI is important for both research and clinical practice. This chapter will first review various forms of DI focusing on central diabetes insipidus (CDI) and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). This is followed by a discussion of regulatory mechanisms underlying CDI and NDI, with a focus on the regulatory axis of vasopressin, vasopressin receptor 2 (V2R) and the water channel molecule, aquaporin 2 (AQP2). The clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and management of various forms of DI will also be discussed with highlights of some of the latest therapeutic strategies that are developed from in vitro experiments and animal studies.

Abstract
Hypernatremia is an occasionally encountered electrolyte disorder, which may lead to fatal consequences under improper management. Hypernatremia is a disorder of the homeostatic status regarding body water and sodium contents. This imbalance is the basis for the diagnostic approach to hypernatremia. We summarize the eight diagnostic steps of the traditional approach and introduce new biomarkers: exclude pseudohypernatremia, confirm glucose-corrected sodium concentrations, determine the extracellular volume status, measure urine sodium levels, measure urine volume and osmolality, check ongoing urinary electrolyte free water clearance, determine arginine vasopressin/copeptin levels, and assess other electrolyte disorders. Moreover, we suggest six steps to manage hypernatremia by replacing water deficits, ongoing water losses, and insensible water losses: identify underlying causes, distinguish between acute and chronic hypernatremia, determine the amount and rate of water administration, select the type of replacement solution, adjust the treatment schedule, and consider additional therapy for diabetes insipidus. Physicians may apply some of these steps to all patients with hypernatremia, and can also adapt the regimens for specific causes or situations.

Abstract
Hypernatremia is a common electrolyte disorder in patients with brain injury. The mortality of brain injury patients with severe hypernatremia may be as high as 86.8%. The efficacy of conventional treatment for hypernatremia is limited. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can slowly, controllably, and continuously reduce the blood sodium concentration and gradually become an important treatment for severe hypernatremia patients. This review aims to provide important information for clinicians and clinical researchers by describing the etiology, diagnosis, hazards, conventional treatment, and CRRT treatment of hypernatremia in patients with traumatic brain injury.

Abstract
Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) is a clinical syndrome which results from loss or impaired function of vasopressinergic neurons in the hypothalamus/posterior pituitary, resulting in impaired synthesis and/or secretion of arginine vasopressin (AVP). AVP deficiency leads to the inability to concentrate urine and excessive renal water losses, resulting in a clinical syndrome of hypotonic polyuria with compensatory thirst. CDI is caused by diverse etiologies, although it typically develops due to neoplastic, traumatic, or autoimmune destruction of AVP-synthesizing/secreting neurons. This review focuses on the diagnosis and management of CDI, providing insights into the physiological disturbances underpinning the syndrome. Recent developments in diagnostic techniques, particularly the development of the copeptin assay, have improved accuracy and acceptability of the diagnostic approach to the hypotonic polyuria syndrome. We discuss the management of CDI with particular emphasis on management of fluid intake and pharmacological replacement of AVP. Specific clinical syndromes such as adipsic diabetes insipidus and diabetes insipidus in pregnancy as well as management of the perioperative patient with diabetes insipidus are also discussed.

Abstract
CONTEXT Familial pituitary diabetes insipidus has been described only in an autosomal dominant or recessive mode of inheritance. OBJECTIVE This work aims to determine the cause of a novel form of familial diabetes insipidus (DI) that is controlled by desmopressin therapy but segregates in an X-linked recessive manner. METHODS Thirteen members from 3 generations of the kindred with familial DI were studied. Water intake, urine volume, urine osmolality, plasma osmolality, and plasma vasopressin were measured under basal conditions, during fluid deprivation, 3% saline infusion, and water loading. Magnetic resonance images of the posterior pituitary also were obtained. In affected males, the effects of desmopressin therapy and linkage of the DI to markers for chromosome Xq28 were determined. In addition, the genes encoding vasopressin, aquaporin-2, the AVPR2 receptor, and its flanking regions were sequenced. RESULTS This study showed that 4 males from 3 generations of the kindred have DI that is due to a deficiency of vasopressin, is corrected by standard doses of desmopressin, and segregates with markers for the AVPR2 gene in Xq28. However, no mutations were found in AVPR2 or its highly conserved flanking regions. Exome sequencing confirmed these findings and also revealed no deleterious variants in the provasopressin and aquaporin-2 genes. The 4 obligate female carriers osmo-regulated vasopressin in the low normal range. CONCLUSION X-linked recessive transmission of DI can be due to a defect in either the secretion or the action of vasopressin. Other criteria are necessary to differentiate and manage the 2 disorders correctly.

Glucagon-stimulated copeptin measurements in the differential diagnosis of diabetes insipidus: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. Eur J Endocrinol 2022; 187:65-74. [PMID: 35521789 DOI: 10.1530/eje-22-0033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The differential diagnosis of diabetes insipidus is challenging. The most reliable approaches are copeptin measurements after hypertonic saline infusion or arginine, which is a known growth hormone secretagogue but has recently also been shown to stimulate the neurohypophysis. Similar to arginine, glucagon stimulates growth hormone release, but its effect on the neurohypophysis is poorly studied. DESIGN Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial including 22 healthy participants, 10 patients with central diabetes insipidus, and 10 patients with primary polydipsia at the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland. METHODS Each participant underwent the glucagon test (s.c. injection of 1 mg glucagon) and placebo test. The primary objective was to determine whether glucagon stimulates copeptin and to explore whether the copeptin response differentiates between diabetes insipidus and primary polydipsia. Copeptin levels were measured at baseline, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 min after injection. RESULTS In healthy participants, glucagon stimulated copeptin with a median increase of 7.56 (2.38; 28.03) pmol/L, while placebo had no effect (0.10 pmol/L (-0.70; 0.68); P < 0.001). In patients with diabetes insipidus, copeptin showed no relevant increase upon glucagon, with an increase of 0.55 (0.21; 1.65) pmol/L, whereas copeptin was stimulated in patients with primary polydipsia with an increase of 15.70 (5.99; 24.39) pmol/L. Using a copeptin cut-off level of 4.6pmol/L had a sensitivity of 100% (95% CI: 100-100) and a specificity of 90% (95% CI: 70-100) to discriminate between diabetes insipidus and primary polydipsia. CONCLUSION Glucagon stimulates the neurohypophysis, and glucagon-stimulated copeptin has the potential for a safe, novel, and precise test in the differential diagnosis of diabetes insipidus.

Abstract
Dipsogenic polydipsia (DP), a distinct variety of primary polydipsia, is characterised by selective diminution of osmotic threshold for thirst leading to polydipsia and subsequent hypotonic polyuria. Seen in patients without underlying psychiatric illness, DP closely mimics central diabetes insipidus (CDI), making it difficult for clinicians to discriminate these two conditions from each other. Carefully performed osmotic stimulation study, incorporating objective assessment of threshold for thirst and arginine vasopressin (AVP) release is the key to differentiate DP from CDI or psychogenic polydipsia, also termed compulsive water drinking (CWD). Low thirst threshold and high AVP release threshold separate DP from CDI and CWD, respectively. Unlike CWD, desmopressin may be successfully used in DP without concomitant risk of hyponatremia. We describe a child, in whom an initial diagnosis of partial CDI was subsequently revised to DP based on osmotic stimulation test. The child was treated successfully with desmopressin therapy with a target to keep serum osmolality close to thirst threshold.

Abstract
ABSTRACT A 49-year-old woman with a history of daily inhaled corticosteroid use for asthma presented to a concussion clinic 7 wk after sport-related head injury with headache, visual blurring, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, polydipsia, and polyuria. Examination revealed difficulty with vestibulo-occulomotor testing due to nausea and visual straining. Cranial CT/MR imaging was unremarkable. Laboratory testing revealed critically low serum cortisol, hypernatremia, and urine studies suggesting diabetes insipidus. The patient was referred to the emergency department. Intravenous fluid resuscitation, corticosteroids, and desmopressin led to significant symptomatic relief. She was maintained on oral hydrocortisone after cosyntropin test revealed adrenal insufficiency. Her clinical picture suggested chronic subclinical adrenal suppression from inhaled corticosteroids, which was exacerbated by hypopituitarism possibly from concussion combined with diabetes insipidus. Adrenal insufficiency should be considered in athletes with history of corticosteroid use and endocrine-related symptoms after concussion, because this can create significant morbidity and can mimic traditional symptoms of concussion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the urinary tract characteristics of diabetes insipidus (DI) patients with upper urinary tract dilatation (UUTD) using the video-urodynamic recordings (VUDS), UUTD and all urinary tract dysfunction (AUTD) systems, and to summarize the experience in the treatment of DI with UUTD. METHODS This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 26 patients with DI, including micturition diary, water deprivation tests, imaging data and management. The UUTD and AUTD systems were used to evaluate the urinary tract characteristics. All patients were required to undergo VUDS, neurophysiologic tests to confirm the presence of neurogenic bladder (NB). RESULTS VUDS showed that the mean values for bladder capacity and bladder compliance were 575.0 ± 135.1 ml and 51.5 ± 33.6 cmH2O in DI patients, and 42.3% (11/26) had a post-void residual >100 ml. NB was present in 6 (23.1%) of 26 DI patients with UUTD, and enterocystoplasty was recommended for two patients with poor bladder capacity, compliance and renal impairment. For the 24 remaining patients, medication combined with individualized and appropriate bladder management, including intermittent catheterization, indwelling catheter and regular voiding, achieved satisfactory results. High serum creatinine decreased from 248.0 ± 115.8 μmoI/L to 177.4 ± 92.8 μmoI/L in 12 patients from a population with a median of 108.1 μmoI/L (IQR: 79.9-206.5 μmoI/L). Forty-four dilated ureters showed significant improvement in the UUTD grade, and the median grade of 52 UUTD ureters decreased from 3 to 2. CONCLUSION Bladder distension, trabeculation and decreased or absent sensations were common features for DI patients with UUTD. Individualized therapy by medication combined with appropriate bladder management can improve UUTD and renal function in DI patients.

Abstract
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disorder characterized by a high hypotonic urinary output of more than 50ml per kg body weight per 24 hours, with associated polydipsia of more than 3 liters a day [1,2]. Central DI results from inadequate secretion and usually deficient synthesis of Arginine vasopressin (AVP) in the hypothalamus or pituitary gland. Besides central DI further underlying etiologies of DI can be due to other primary forms (renal origin) or secondary forms of polyuria (resulting from primary polydipsia). All these forms belong to the Polyuria Polydipsia Syndrom (PPS). In most cases central and nephrogenic DI are acquired, but there are also congenital forms caused by genetic mutations of the AVP gene (central DI) [3] or by mutations in the gene for the AVP V2R or the AQP2 water channel (nephrogenic DI) [4]. Primary polydipsia (PP) as secondary form of polyuria includes an excessive intake of large amounts of fluid leading to polyuria in the presence of intact AVP secretion and appropriate antidiuretic renal response. Differentiation between the three mentioned entities is difficult [5], especially in patients with Primary polydipsia or partial, mild forms of DI [1,6], but different tests for differential diagnosis, most recently based on measurement of copeptin, and a thorough medical history mostly lead to the correct diagnosis. This is important since treatment strategies vary and application of the wrong treatment can be dangerous [7]. Treatment of central DI consists of fluid management and drug therapy with the synthetic AVP analogue Desmopressin (DDAVP), that is used as nasal or oral preparation in most cases. Main side effect can be dilutional hyponatremia [8]. In this review we will focus on central diabetes insipidus and describe the prevalence, the clinical manifestations, the etiology as well as the differential diagnosis and management of central diabetes insipidus in the out- and inpatient setting.

Abstract
Introduction. Cerebral salt-wasting syndrome and diabetes insipidus are serious complications of craniocerebral injury and spinal cord injuries. Each of the syndromes in some cases causes a life-threatening condition. This determines the importance of timely diagnosis and emergency intensive care measures. In the literature, there are only single descriptions of combinations of these symptoms in one patient.Clinical case report. A victim with craniocerebral injury and cervical spinal cord injury underwent, according to emergency indications, emptying and drainage of a tense subgaleal hematoma of the fronto-parieto-occipital region, spinal cord decompression, and stabilization of the spine. Postoperative follow-up and intensive care: on the 1st day the rate of diuresis was 2.5 mL/kg/h, blood glucose level – 14.18 mmol/L, and sodium level – 148–158 mmol/L. The patient was diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, and a therapy with desmopressin at a dose of 0.6 mg/day, restoration of fluid volume with hypotonic solutions, and correction of hyperglycemia was started. On the 4th day blood sodium level was 133 mmol/L, and blood glucose level – 8.67 mmol/L. On the 5th day, hyponatremia of 126–115 mmol/L was noted with a diuresis rate of 4 mL/kg/h and glicemya level of 7.86 mmol/L. The development of cerebral salt-wasting syndrome was diagnosed, and the infusion of hydrocortisone 400 mg/day and of 10% NaCl solution was started. On the 6th day glucose level returned to normal. On the 9th day of follow-up, an increase in the volume of diuresis was again observed, and desmopressin therapy was continued. Stable normalization of water-electrolyte balance, urine output, and glucose levels were observed on the 16th day of follow-up.Conclusion. Monitoring of fluid balance and electrolyte composition of blood serum, and adequate replacement therapy were the conditions for successful treatment of a rare combination of diabetes insipidus and cerebral salt-wasting syndrome in patients with concomitant craniocerebral and spinal cord injuries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Direct measurement of arginine vasopressin (AVP) via immunoassays is not widely conducted, mainly because of technical constraints. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) has been widely used as the gold standard in clinical chemistry. Here, we aimed to develop an MS-based assay to determine human plasma AVP and compare the results with those obtained using a conventional immunoassay. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed a protocol using triple quadrupole MS coupled with LC for the measurement of human plasma AVP. Analytical evaluations of the method were performed, and the results obtained using LC/MS/MS and radioimmunoassay (RIA) were compared. RESULTS The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for plasma AVP obtained using LC/MS/MS and RIA were 0.2 and 0.4 pg/mL, respectively. Although there was a weak overall correlation between the results obtained using the two different methods, the RIA results did not agree with the LC/MS/MS results, particularly at low concentrations. CONCLUSIONS AVP detection through RIA is not satisfactory compared with that using LC/MS/MS. Diagnostic values of direct AVP measurements must be evaluated based on the results obtained via sensitive and accurate MS-based methods rather than those obtained through RIA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma, high-dose chemoimmunotherapy with subsequent autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a standard of care. Bendamustine, an alkylating agent, is used in the BeEAM (bendamustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan) protocol for conditioning therapy before autologous HCT in patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma who are eligible for transplant. There is no consensus regarding an optimal salvage regimen and the approach varies according to toxicity. CASE REPORT We present a case of partial nephrogenic diabetes insipidus after receiving bendamustine, as part of the BeEAM protocol.Management and outcome: The patient was managed with parenteral fluid administration and intranasal desmopressin before the condition resolved on its own. DISCUSSION We summarize published reports of bendamustine-induced diabetes insipidus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes insipidus (DI) can be a common cause of polydipsia and polyuria. Here, we present a case of congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI) accompanied with central diabetes insipidus (CDI) secondary to pituitary surgery. CASE PRESENTATION A 24-year-old Chinese woman came to our hospital with the complaints of polydipsia and polyuria for 6 months. Six months ago, she was detected with pituitary apoplexy, and thereby getting pituitary surgery. However, the water deprivation test demonstrated no significant changes in urine volume and urine gravity in response to fluid depression or AVP administration. In addition, the genetic results confirmed a heterozygous mutation in arginine vasopressin receptor type 2 (AVPR2) genes. CONCLUSIONS She was considered with CNDI as well as acquired CDI secondary to pituitary surgery. She was given with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 25 mg twice a day as well as desmopressin (DDAVP, Minirin) 0.1 mg three times a day. There is no recurrence of polyuria or polydipsia observed for more than 6 months. It can be hard to consider AVPR2 mutation in female carriers, especially in those with subtle clinical presentation. Hence, direct detection of DNA sequencing with AVPR2 is a convenient and accurate method in CNDI diagnosis.

Abstract
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is characterised by thirst and polydipsia with hypotonic polyuria. Several forms exist, namely, central or pituitary, nephrogenic and gestational and must be differentiated for adequate treatment. We describe the case of a 41-year-old woman chronically infected with HIV who had been recently medicated with a tenofovir-based antiretroviral treatment and who, at 22 weeks of pregnancy, presented with transient gestational DI. Obstetric ultrasound revealed oligohydramnios and foetal growth restriction that did not improve despite serum sodium correction. The severity of the case suggested the presence of an underlying disorder and elevated copeptin levels indicated that an underlying subclinical form of nephrogenic DI, possibly induced by HIV-related nephropathy or tenofovir use, was present and rendered clinically overt during pregnancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to verify that hypothalamus-pituitary dysfunction is one of the risk factors for postoperative central nervous system infections (PCNSIs). METHOD We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients with sellar region lesions who underwent surgery between January 2016 and November 2019 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. In total, 44 age- and sex-matched controls were enrolled. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors for PCNSIs. RESULT We enrolled 88 patients, 44 of whom had PCNSIs. Surgical approach (TCS) (P<0.001), previous surgery on the same site (P=0.001), intraoperative cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leakage (P<0.001), postoperative adrenal insufficiency (P=0.017), postoperative DI (P=0.004) and the maximum Na+ levels(<0.001) correlated significantly with PCNSIs. Multivariate analysis showed that Surgery approach (TCS)(OR: 77.588; 95%CI: 7.981-754.263; P<0.001), intraoperative CSF leakage (OR: 12.906; 95%CI: 3.499-47.602; P<0.001), postoperative DI (OR: 6.999; 95%CI:1.371-35.723; P=0.019) and postoperative adrenal insufficiency (OR: 6.115; 95%CI: 1.025-36.469; P=0.047) were independent influencing factors for PCNSIs. CONCLUSION TCS, intraoperative CSF leakage, postoperative DI and postoperative adrenal insufficiency are risk factors for PCNSIs in patients with sellar region tumors.

Abstract
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a syndrome characterized by the persistent excretion of abnormally large volumes of dilute urine. It can be caused by any of four fundamentally different abnormalities: deficient production of the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin (AVP) by magnocellular neurons that form the posterior pituitary (hypothalamic DI); impaired renal effects of AVP (nephrogenic DI); reduced AVP secretion due to excessive water intake (primary polydipsia); or degradation of AVP by placental vasopressinase (gestational DI). Each type of DI can be caused or potentiated by other disorders. Hypothalamic and nephrogenic DI can also be caused by mutation of the gene that encodes the AVP prohormone, the AVP-2 receptors in the kidney, or the aquaporin-2 water channels that mediate antidiuresis. Familial hypothalamic DI is usually transmitted in an autosomal dominant mode, but autosomal recessive or X-linked recessive forms also exist. Familial nephrogenic DI is usually transmitted in an X-linked recessive mode but can also be autosomal recessive or dominant. Hence the mode of inheritance does not always indicate the type of DI. Indirect methods of differential diagnosis are also unreliable and the pituitary MRI signal is diminished in both types of familial DI. Thus the determination of plasma AVP and/or the response to desmopressin therapy plus gene sequencing provides the best basis for effective management and family counseling.

Abstract
Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a distinct developmental defect of the pituitary gland identified by magnetic resonance imaging and characterized by a thin, interrupted, attenuated or absent pituitary stalk, hypoplasia or aplasia of the adenohypophysis, and an ectopic posterior pituitary. The precise etiology of PSIS still remains elusive or incompletely confirmed in most cases. Adverse perinatal events, including breech delivery and hypoxia, were initially proposed as the underlying mechanism affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Nevertheless, recent findings have uncovered a wide variety of PSIS-associated molecular defects in genes involved in pituitary development, holoprosencephaly (HPE), neural development, and other important cellular processes such as cilia function. The application of whole exome sequencing (WES) in relatively large cohorts has identified an expanded pool of potential candidate genes, mostly related to the Wnt, Notch, and sonic hedgehog signaling pathways that regulate pituitary growth and development during embryogenesis. Importantly, WES has revealed coexisting pathogenic variants in a significant number of patients; therefore, pointing to a multigenic origin and inheritance pattern of PSIS. The disorder is characterized by inter- and intrafamilial variability and incomplete or variable penetrance. Overall, PSIS is currently viewed as a mild form of an expanded HPE spectrum. The wide and complex clinical manifestations include evolving pituitary hormone deficiencies (with variable timing of onset and progression) and extrapituitary malformations. Severe and life-threatening symptomatology is observed in a subset of patients with complete pituitary hormone deficiency during the neonatal period. Nevertheless, most patients are referred later in childhood for growth retardation. Prompt and appropriate hormone substitution therapy constitutes the cornerstone of treatment. Further studies are needed to uncover the etiopathogenesis of PSIS.

Distribution of plasma copeptin levels and influence of obesity in children and adolescents. Eur J Pediatr 2021; 180:119-126.

Abstract
In recent years, a more stable AVP surrogate, called copeptin, has been used as an adjuvant diagnostic tool for dysnatremia in adults and appears to be promising even in the pediatric age. The aim of this study is to present the distribution of plasma copeptin in a large pediatric cohort and to observe the influence of fluid consumption and obesity on its values. A cohort of 128 children and adolescents was divided into two groups on the basis of nocturnal deprivation (group A) or free access to oral fluids in the 6-8 h before blood collection (group B). At all distribution percentiles, copeptin levels were higher (p < 0.0001) in group A, as were plasma sodium levels and osmolality (p = 0.02 and p = 0.008, respectively). The influence of BMI on copeptin levels was investigated by dividing the cohort into nonobese (group C) and obese children and adolescents (group D). Copeptin levels were higher in group D (p = 0.04).Conclusion: The measurement of copeptin could represent a useful tool for the diagnostic pathway of dysnatremic conditions, but its interpretation should take into consideration the state of hydration. Furthermore, it could also be a promising marker for obesity and metabolic syndrome, although this hypothesis needs further studies to be confirmed. What is Known: • Copeptin use as a diagnostic tool in AVP-related disorders, such as diabetes insipidus or syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone, is well established in adults • In pediatric age, few studies are available, but the preliminary data, including our previous study, seems to be promising. What is New: • In this study, we represent the distribution of copeptin levels in a pediatric cohort and show the significant influence of fluid ingestion on its plasma levels. • Also BMI seems to be a significant variable on copeptin levels and may be used as an obesity marker in pediatric age.

Abstract
The hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a nonapeptide synthesized by hypothalamic magnocellular nuclei and secreted from the posterior pituitary into the bloodstream. It binds to AVP receptor 2 in the kidney to promote the insertion of aquaporin channels (AQP2) and antidiuretic responses. AVP secretion deficits produce central diabetes insipidus (CDI), while renal insensitivity to the antidiuretic effect of AVP causes nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). Hereditary and acquired forms of CDI and NDI generate hypotonic polyuria, polydipsia, hyperosmolality, and hypernatremia. The AVP mutant (Brattleboro) rat is the principal animal model of hereditary CDI, while neurohypophysectomy, pituitary stalk compression, hypophysectomy, and mediobasal hypothalamic lesions produce acquired CDI. In animals, hereditary NDI is mainly caused by mutations in AVP2R or AQP2 genes, while acquired NDI is most frequently induced by lithium. We report here on the determinants of the intake and excretion of water and mineral salts and on the different types of DI in humans. We then describe the hydromineral characteristics of these animal models and the responses observed after administration of hypertonic NaCl or when they are fed with low-sodium diets. Finally, we report on the effects of drugs such as AVP analogues and/or oxytocin, another neuropeptide that increases sodium excretion in animal models and humans with CDI, and sildenafil, a compound that increases the expression and function of AQP2 channels in animal models and humans with NDI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical value and biological function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC-P21 in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS The expression of LINC-P21 was estimated using quantitative real-time PCR. The functional role of LINC-P21 was explored by gain- and loss-of-function experiments. INS-1 cell proliferation was analyzed using a cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8)assay, and the glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was measured using an ELISA kit. The miRNAs that might be sponged by LINC-P21 were analyzed, and the subsequent target genes were predicted and assessed in INS-1 cells. RESULTS Serum expression of LINC-P21 was elevated in T2DM patients, which was correlated with fasting blood glucose levels and disease diagnosis. The glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and the proliferation of INS-1 cells were enhanced by LINC-P21 knockdown, but the overexpression of LINC-P21 led to opposite effects. miR-766-3p could be directly inhibited by LINC-P21 in INS-1 cells and reverse the effects of LINC-P21 on β-cell function. Additionally, NR3C2 was determined as a target of miR-766-3p, which could be positively regulated by LINC-P21 and had same effects with LINC-P21 on INS-1 cell proliferation and insulin secretion. CONCLUSION All the data demonstrated that serum elevated LINC-P21 and decreased miR-766-3p serve as candidate diagnostic biomarkers in T2DM patients. LINC-P21 acts as a potential regulator in insulin secretion and proliferation of pancreatic β-cells through targeting miR-766-3p to upregulate NR3C2.

Abstract
The treatment of central diabetes insipidus has not changed significantly in recent decades, and dDAVP and replacement of free water deficit remain the cornerstones of treatment. Oral dDAVP has replaced nasal dDAVP as a more reliable mode of treatment for chronic central diabetes insipidus. Hyponatraemia is a common side effect, occurring in one in four patients, and should be avoided by allowing a regular break from dDAVP to allow a resultant aquaresis. Hypernatraemia is less common, and typically occurs during hospitalization, when access to water is restricted, and in cases of adipsic DI. Management of adipsic DI can be challenging, and requires initial inpatient assessment to establish dose of dDAVP, daily fluid prescription, and eunatraemic weight which can guide day-to-day fluid targets in the long-term.

Abstract
In the pregnant patient, hypotonic polyuria in the setting of elevated serum osmolality and polydipsia should narrow the differential to causes related to diabetes insipidus (DI). Gestational DI, also called transient DI of pregnancy, is a distinct entity, unique from central DI or nephrogenic DI which may both become exacerbated during pregnancy. These three different processes relate to vasopressin, where increased metabolism, decreased production or altered renal sensitivity to this neuropeptide should be considered. Gestational DI involves progressively rising levels of placental vasopressinase throughout pregnancy, resulting in decreased endogenous vasopressin and resulting hypotonic polyuria worsening through the pregnancy. Gestational DI should be distinguished from central and nephrogenic DI that may be seen during pregnancy through use of clinical history, urine and serum osmolality measurements, response to desmopressin and potentially, the newer, emerging copeptin measurement. This review focuses on a brief overview of osmoregulatory and vasopressin physiology in pregnancy and how this relates to the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of gestational DI, with comparisons to the other forms of DI during pregnancy. Differentiating the subtypes of DI during pregnancy is critical in order to provide optimal management of DI in pregnancy and avoid dehydration and hypernatremia in this vulnerable population.

Abstract
In the majority of cases, hereditary neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (DI) is a monogenic disorder caused by mutations in the AVP gene. Dominant transmission is by far the most common form. In these patients, symptoms develop gradually at various ages during childhood, progressing with complete penetrance to polyuria and polydipsia that is usually severe. In autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal DI (ADNDI), the mutant prohormone is folding deficient and consequently retained in the ER, where it forms amyloid-like fibrillar aggregates. Degradation by proteasomes occurs, but their clearance capacity appears to be insufficient. Postmortem studies in affected individuals suggest a neurodegenerative process confined to vasopressinergic neurons. Other forms of genetic neurohypophyseal DI include the very rare autosomal recessive type, also caused by mutations in the AVP gene, and complex multiorgan disorders, such as Wolfram syndrome. In all individuals where a congenital form of DI is suspected, including nephrogenic types, genetic analysis should be performed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It's necessary to analyze the role of VEGF, apelin, and HO-1 in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and to evaluate its relevance to diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS T2DM patients who were treated in our hospital from December 1, 2018 to November 30, 2019 were included. T2DM patients were divided into non-DR (NDR) group, non-proliferative DR (NPDR) group, and proliferative DR (PDR) group. and healthy participants were selected as the control group. The value of VEGF, apelin, and HO1 in predicting PDR were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the relations of VEGF, apelin, HO-1 and clinical factors in PDR patients were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS A total of 295 participants were included. The level of FPG and HbAlc in PDR group were significantly higher than that of other groups (all p < 0.05); the level of VEGF and apelin in PDR group were significantly higher than that of other groups (all p < 0.05), but the level of HO-1 in PDR group were significantly less than that of other groups(p = 0.017); the AUC of VEGF, apelin, HO-1 and combined use was 0.806(95%CI: 0.779-0.861), 0.819(95%CI: 0.765-0.878), 0.808(95%CI: 0.733-0.869) and 0.902(95%CI: 0.822-0.958) respectively, the AUC, sensitivity, specificity of the three combined use was significantly higher than that of single VEGF, apelin, HO-1 use(all p < 0.05). The cutoff values of serum VEGF, apelin, and HO-1 levels for predicting PDR were 163.85 pg/ml, 8.27 ng/ml, and 26.06 mmol/L respectively. Serum VEGF, apelin, and HO-1 in patients with PDR was related to the time course of DM, FPG and HbAlc (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS VEGF, apelin and HO-1 are related to the progress of DR, and the combined use of VEGF, apelin and HO-1 is beneficial to the diagnosis and treatment of PDR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vasopressin has achieved common usage for the treatment of catecholamine-requiring and catecholamine-resistant shock. Diabetes insipidus is a syndrome characterized by excretion of abnormally large volumes of dilute urine. To date, very few reports of diabetes insipidus after discontinuation of vasopressin infusion have been published; the majority of previous reports describe neurosurgical patients. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the occurrence rate of diabetes insipidus after discontinuation of vasopressin infusion among patients treated with vasopressin infusion for shock. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of electronic health records of patients receiving continuous vasopressin infusion for the treatment of shock within a 5-year period (2012-2016). SETTING Medical, surgical, and cardiothoracic ICUs within one academic medical center. PATIENTS One-thousand eight-hundred ninety-six patients received vasopressin infusion for the treatment of shock. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The occurrence rate of diabetes insipidus after discontinuation of vasopressin infusion was 1.53% among all patients. Sixteen of 29 patients with diabetes insipidus after discontinuation of vasopressin infusion had undergone cardiothoracic intervention, such as coronary artery bypass graft and valve replacement surgery, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and placement of ventricular assist devices. No neurosurgical patients were identified in our cohort. In a control group of patients receiving norepinephrine but not vasopressin infusion for treatment of shock, criteria for diabetes insipidus were observed in two of 1,320 subjects (0.15%). CONCLUSIONS Despite a paucity of published reports, diabetes insipidus after discontinuation of vasopressin infusion appears not to be a rare phenomenon, and is likely to be encountered by intensivists who regularly employ vasopressin for the treatment of vasoplegic shock. Previous reports consisted predominantly of neurosurgical patients. Our findings demonstrate the occurrence of diabetes insipidus after discontinuation of vasopressin infusion among patients with septic shock as well as vasoplegic shock after cardiothoracic intervention. The mechanism of diabetes insipidus after discontinuation of vasopressin infusion remains to be elucidated but may involve transient downregulation of V2 receptors induced by exposure to supraphysiological doses of vasopressin.

Abstract
A 49-year-old female with history of daily inhaled corticosteroid use for asthma presented to a concussion clinic 7 wk after sport-related head injury with headache, visual blurring, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, polydipsia, and polyuria. Examination revealed difficulty with vestibuloocculomotor testing due to nausea and visual straining. Cranial computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging was unremarkable. Laboratory testing revealed critically low serum cortisol, hypernatremia, and urine studies suggesting diabetes insipidus. The patient was referred to the emergency department. Intravenous fluid resuscitation, corticosteroids, and desmopressin led to significant symptomatic relief. She was maintained on oral hydrocortisone after cosyntropin test revealed adrenal insufficiency. Her clinical picture suggested chronic subclinical adrenal suppression from inhaled corticosteroids which was exacerbated by hypopituitarism from concussion combined with diabetes insipidus. Adrenal insufficiency should be considered in athletes with history of corticosteroid use and endocrine-related symptoms after concussion, because this can create significant morbidity and can mimic traditional symptoms of concussion.

Abstract
The antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) regulates water homeostasis, blood pressure and a range of stress responses. It is synthesized in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary into the general circulation upon a range of stimuli. While the mechanisms leading to AVP secretion have been widely investigated, the molecular mechanisms regulating AVP gene expression are mostly unclear. Here we investigated the neurotransmitters and signal transduction pathways that activate AVP gene expression in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the rat using acute brain slices and quantitative real-time PCR. We show that stimulation with l-glutamate robustly induced AVP gene expression in acute hypothalamic brain slices containing the PVN. More specifically, we show that AVP transcription was stimulated by NMDA. Using pharmacological treatments, our data further reveal that the activation of ERK1/2 (PD184352), CaMKII (KN-62) and PI3K (LY294002; 740 Y-P) is involved in the NMDA-induced AVP gene expression in the PVN. Together, this study identifies NMDA-mediated cell signalling pathways that regulate AVP gene expression in the rat PVN.

Abstract
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disorder characterized by excretion of large amounts of hypotonic urine. Central DI results from a deficiency of the hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) in the pituitary gland or the hypothalamus, whereas nephrogenic DI results from resistance to AVP in the kidneys. Central and nephrogenic DI are usually acquired, but genetic causes must be evaluated, especially if symptoms occur in early childhood. Central or nephrogenic DI must be differentiated from primary polydipsia, which involves excessive intake of large amounts of water despite normal AVP secretion and action. Primary polydipsia is most common in psychiatric patients and health enthusiasts but the polydipsia in a small subgroup of patients seems to be due to an abnormally low thirst threshold, a condition termed dipsogenic DI. Distinguishing between the different types of DI can be challenging and is done either by a water deprivation test or by hypertonic saline stimulation together with copeptin (or AVP) measurement. Furthermore, a detailed medical history, physical examination and imaging studies are needed to ensure an accurate DI diagnosis. Treatment of DI or primary polydipsia depends on the underlying aetiology and differs in central DI, nephrogenic DI and primary polydipsia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are associated with impaired well-being, increased comorbidities, and reduced long-term survival. Data on optimal management of NFPAs around surgical treatment are scarce, and postoperative treatment and follow-up strategies have not been evaluated in prospective trials. Here, we review the preoperative, perioperative, and early postoperative management of patients with NFPAs. METHODS We searched Medline and the Cochrane Library for articles published in English with the following items "Pituitary neoplasms AND Surgery" and "Surgery AND Hypopituitarism". Studies containing detailed analyses of the management of NFPAs in adult patients, including pituitary surgery, endocrine care, imaging, ophthalmologic assessment and long-term outcome were reviewed. RESULTS Treatment options for NFPAs include active surveillance, surgical resection, and radiotherapy. Pituitary surgery is currently recommended as first-line treatment in patients with visual impairment due to adenomas compressing the optic nerves or chiasma. Radiotherapy is reserved for large tumor remnants or tumor recurrence following one or more surgical attempts. There is no consensus of optimal pre-, peri-, and postoperative management such as timing, frequency, and duration of endocrine, radiologic, and ophthalmologic assessments as well as management of smaller tumor remnants or tumor recurrence. CONCLUSIONS In clinical practice, there is a great variation in the treatment and follow-up of patients with NFPAs. We have, based on available data, suggested an optimal management strategy for patients with NFPAs in relation to pituitary surgery. Prospective trials oriented at drawing up strategies for the management of NFPAs are needed.

Abstract
We report a case of a patient with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) who was diagnosed with permanent central diabetes insipidus (DI). A 21-year-old man was admitted to our outpatient clinic with polyuria and polydipsia 1 week after a mild head injury. He was well, except for these complaints. The initial laboratory workup was consistent with DI. There was no abnormality with other laboratory and hormone values. MRI showed lack of neurohypophyseal hyperintensity with no other abnormal findings. The patient responded well to desmopressin therapy. At the first year of the diagnosis, the patient still needed to use desmopressin treatment as we concluded that DI is permanent. DI is not uncommon after TBI, but it is often seen after severe TBI. We present here an extraordinary case of developing permanent DI after mild TBI with the absence of neurohypophyseal bright spot on MRI with no other abnormal findings.

Abstract
Background Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (DI) secondary to a urinary tract obstruction is a rare condition. Herein, we report a case of partial nephrogenic DI due to obstructive uropathy in a patient with Castleman’s disease. Case presentation A 78-year-old man underwent computed tomography (CT) at his local hospital because of persistent edema of the leg and polyuria (both lasting approximately 2 months); retroperitoneal fibrosis was detected on the CT scan. An abdominal CT scan showed bilateral hydronephrosis, and a surgical biopsy of the para-aortic lymph node revealed Castleman’s disease. To resolve the hydronephrosis, a double J stent was inserted; however, his polyuria continued. As his serum osmolality (311 mOsm/kg) was greater than 300 mOsm/kg, and his serum sodium level was 149 mEq/L, a water deprivation test was not performed. On a vasopressin challenge test, his urine was not sufficiently concentrated to the expected range, indicating partial nephrogenic DI. He was treated with hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg/day), and his urine output gradually decreased to within the normal range. The patient recovered uneventfully and underwent treatment for Castleman’s disease. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of partial nephrogenic DI due to obstructive uropathy associated with Castleman’s disease.

Abstract
Endocrine emergencies are frequent in critically ill patients and may be the cause of admission or can be secondary to other critical illness. The ability to anticipate endocrine abnormalities such as adrenal excess or , hypothyroidism, can mitigate their duration and severity. Hyperglycemic crisis may trigger hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) admission and may be life threatening. Recognition and safe treatment of severe conditions such as acute adrenal insufficiency, thyroid crisis, and hypoglycemia and hyperglycemic crisis may be lifesaving. Electrolyte abnormalities such as hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia may have underlying endocrine causes, and may be treated differently with recognition of those disorders- electrolyte replacement alone may not be adequate for efficient resolution. Sodium disorders are common in the ICU and are generally related to altered water balance however may be related to pituitary abnormalities in selected patients, and recognition may improve treatment effectiveness and safety.

Abstract
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) results from the inability of the late distal tubules and collecting ducts to respond to vasopressin. The lack of ability to concentrate urine results in polyuria and polydipsia. Primary and acquired forms of NDI exist in children. Congenital NDI is a result of mutation in AVPR2 or AQP2 genes. Secondary NDI is associated with electrolyte abnormalities, obstructive uropathy, or certain medications. Management of NDI can be difficult with only symptomatic treatment available, using low-solute diet, diuretics, and prostaglandin inhibitors.

Abstract
Diabetes insipidus and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion lie at opposite ends of the spectrum of disordered renal handling of water. Whereas renal retention of water insidiously causes hypotonic hyponatremia in syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, diabetes insipidus may lead to free water loss, hypernatremia, and volume depletion. Hypernatremia and hyponatremia are associated with worse outcomes and longer intensive care stays. Moreover, pathologies causing polyuria and hyponatremia in patients in intensive care may be multiple, making diagnosis challenging. We provide an approach to the diagnosis and management of these conditions in intensive care patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present the case of a 39-year-old male admitted to the hospital with diabetes insipidus as a sequela of a previously undiagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. This case is unique, as the patient's disease was determined to be an infiltrative malignancy affecting the pituitary infundibular stalk, resulting in multifocal pituitary dysfunction. METHODS Case report. RESULTS Initially presenting with gastrointestinal bleed, later discovered to be from tumor infiltration of gastric vessels, diagnosis of lymphoma was made when gastrectomy became necessary for hemostasis. Subsequent hypernatremia on basic laboratory studies led to further investigation and revealed central diabetes insipidus. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pituitary was performed, showing thickening of the infundibular stalk. Additional endocrine evaluation revealed central hypothyroidism and central adrenal insufficiency. CONCLUSION Radiologic findings of thickened pituitary infundibulum can support the diagnosis of central diabetes insipidus when additional symptoms are present. Central diabetes insipidus due to lymphomatous infundibular stalk infiltration is an uncommon presentation of endocrine deficiency as well as malignancy; this case demonstrates the management of a critically ill patient with central hypopituitarism due to diffuse B-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
A 6-year-old girl presented acutely with worsening frontal headaches. She had a 3-month history of lethargy, reduced appetite, weight loss, cough and intermittent fevers. A chest X-ray showed a left upper lobe consolidation, and a CT head showed multiple enhancing lesions with significant surrounding oedema in both cerebral hemispheres. Due to the strong suspicion of tuberculosis (TB), she was admitted and treated with anti-TB therapy and steroids. Following this, pulmonary infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis was confirmed by a positive PCR from induced sputum. Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) analysis was normal and tested negative for M. tuberculosis on PCR. During her first week of treatment, she developed polyuria, nocturia and polydipsia and was diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus. She was started on desmopressin which rapidly improved her symptoms, and she was continued on desmopressin for 3 months. Currently, she remains well and has shown a good response to TB treatment.
