Abstract
Background Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare condition characterized by severe polyuria, due to the inability of the kidneys to concentrate urine in response to arginine vasopressin (AVP). In the majority of the cases, the disease shows an X‐linked inherited pattern, although an autosomal recessive inheritance was also observed. Methods We report a patient with a severe NDI diagnosed during the neonatal period. Because the patient was female without a family history of congenital NDI, her disease was thought to exhibit an autosomal recessive form. Results A full mutation analysis of AVP receptor 2 (AVPR2; MIM#300538) gene showed no mutations. However, direct Sanger sequencing of the aquaporin 2 (AQP2) revealed an apparently homozygous mutation at nucleotide position NM_000486.5:c.374C>T (p.Thr125Met) in exon 2. Further customized multiplex ligation‐dependent probe amplification (MLPA), single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis, and long‐range polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by Sanger sequencing showed a heterozygous exonic deletion comprising exons 2, 3, and partially 4 of AQP2. Conclusion This is the first case of a compound heterozygote patient with a missense mutation involving NM_000486.5:exon2:c.374C>T (p.Thr125Met) and a gross deletion of at least exons 2, 3, and partially 4 on the AQP2 to present with a severe NDI phenotype.

Abstract
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI), which can be inherited or acquired, is characterized by an inability to concentrate urine despite normal or elevated plasma concentrations of the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin (AVP). Polyuria with hyposthenuria and polydipsia are the cardinal clinical manifestations of the disease. About 90% of patients with congenital NDI are males with X-linked NDI who have mutations in the vasopressin V2 receptor (AVPR2) gene encoding the vasopressin V2 receptor. In less than 10% of the families studied, congenital NDI has an autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with mutations in the aquaporin-2 (AQP2) gene. When studied in vitro, most AVPR2 and AQP2 mutations lead to proteins trapped in the endoplasmic reticulum and are unable to reach the plasma membrane. Prior knowledge of AVPR2 or AQP2 mutations in NDI families and perinatal mutation testing is of direct clinical value and can avert the physical and mental retardation associated with repeated episodes of dehydration.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, widely known to the ancients for polyuria and glycosuria, budded off diabetes insipidus (DI) about 200 years ago, based on the glucose-free polyuria that characterized a subset of patients. In the late 19th century, clinicians identified the posterior pituitary as the site of pathology, and pharmacologists found multiple bioactivities there. Early in the 20th century, the amelioration of the polyuria with extracts of the posterior pituitary inaugurated a new era in therapy and advanced the hypothesis that DI was due to a hormone deficiency. Decades later, a subset of patients with polyuria unresponsive to therapy were recognized, leading to the distinction between central DI and nephrogenic DI, an early example of a hormone-resistant condition. Recognition that the posterior pituitary had 2 hormones was followed by du Vigneaud's Nobel Prize winning isolation, sequencing, and chemical synthesis of oxytocin and vasopressin. The pure hormones accelerated the development of bioassays and immunoassays that confirmed the hormone deficiency in vasopressin-sensitive DI and abundant levels of hormone in patients with the nephrogenic disorder. With both forms of the disease, acquired and inborn defects were recognized. Emerging concepts of receptors and of genetic analysis led to the recognition of patients with mutations in the genes for 1) arginine vasopressin (AVP), 2) the AVP receptor 2 (AVPR2), and 3) the aquaporin 2 water channel (AQP2). We recount here the multiple skeins of clinical and laboratory research that intersected frequently over the centuries since the first recognition of DI.

Abstract
It is clinically useful to distinguish between two types of hereditary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI): a ‘pure’ type characterized by loss of water only and a complex type characterized by loss of water and ions. Patients with congenital NDI bearing mutations in the vasopressin 2 receptor gene, AVPR2, or in the aquaporin-2 gene, AQP2, have a pure NDI phenotype with loss of water but normal conservation of sodium, potassium, chloride and calcium. Patients with hereditary hypokalemic salt-losing tubulopathies have a complex phenotype with loss of water and ions. They have polyhydramnios, hypercalciuria and hypo- or isosthenuria and were found to bear KCNJ1 (ROMK) and SLC12A1 (NKCC2) mutations. Patients with polyhydramnios, profound polyuria, hyponatremia, hypochloremia, metabolic alkalosis and sensorineural deafness were found to bear BSND mutations. These clinical phenotypes demonstrate the critical importance of the proteins ROMK, NKCC2 and Barttin to transfer NaCl in the medullary interstitium and thereby to generate, together with urea, a hypertonic milieu. This editorial describes two new developments: (i) the genomic information provided by the sequencing of the AQP2 gene is key to the routine care of these patients, and, as in other genetic diseases, reduces health costs and provides psychological benefits to patients and families and (ii) the expression of AQP2 mutants in Xenopus oocytes and in polarized renal tubular cells recapitulates the clinical phenotypes and reveals a continuum from severe loss of function with urinary osmolalities <150 mOsm/kg H2O to milder defects with urine osmolalities >200 mOsm/kg H2O.

Abstract
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus which can be inherited or acquired, is characterized by an inability to concentrate urine despite normal or elevated plasma concentrations of the antidiuretic hormone, arginine-vasopressine (AVP). Polyuria, with hyposthenuria and polydipsia are the cardinal clinical manifestations of the disease. Hypercalcemia, hypokaliemia, lithium administration and chronic renal failure are the principal causes of acquired nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. About 90 percent of patients with congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus are males with X-linked recessive nephrogenic diabetes insipidus who have mutations in the arginine-vasopressin receptor 2 (AVPR2) gene that codes for the vasopressin V2 receptor. The gene is located in chromosome region Xq28. In about 10 percent of the families studied, congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus has an autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. In these cases, mutations have been identified in the aquaporin-2 gene (AQP2), which is located in chromosome region 12q13 and codes for the vasopressin-sensitive water channel. Other inherited disorders with mild, moderate or severe inability to concentrate urine include Bartter's syndrome and Cystinosis. Identification of the molecular defect underlying congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is of immediate clinical significance because early diagnosis and treatment of affected infants can avert the physical and mental retardation associated with episodes of dehydration.

Abstract
We describe for the first time an infant with Down syndrome and congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). The 11-day-old Japanese boy was admitted with failure to thrive and fever. Polyuria (3,000-3,500 ml/m(2) per day), low urine specific gravity (1.001-1.002), and high plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) (18.2 pg/ml) suggested NDI. Gene analysis confirmed the diagnosis of congenital NDI due to a novel mutation of the V2 receptor gene (L309P). He also had symptoms of Down syndrome and karyotype analysis of the peripheral lymphocytes revealed trisomy 21. The relationship between pyelectasis and a risk of Down syndrome is discussed.

Abstract
The vasopressin-regulated water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is known to tetramerize in the apical membrane of the renal tubular cells and contributes to urine concentration. We identified three novel mutations, each in a single allele of exon 4 of the AQP2 gene, in three families showing autosomal dominant nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). These mutations were found in the C-terminus of AQP2: a deletion of G at nucleotide 721 (721 delG), a deletion of 10 nucleotides starting at nucleotide 763 (763-772del), and a deletion of 7 nucleotides starting at nucleotide 812 (812-818del). The wild-type AQP2 is predicted to be a 271-amino acid protein, whereas these mutant genes are predicted to encode proteins that are 330-333 amino acids in length, because of the frameshift mutations. Interestingly, these three mutant AQP2s shared the same C-terminal tail of 61 amino acids. In Xenopus oocytes injected with mutant AQP2 cRNAs, the osmotic water permeability (Pf) was much smaller than that of oocytes with the AQP2 wild-type (14%-17%). Immunoblot analysis of the lysates of the oocytes expressing the mutant AQP2s detected a band at 34 kD, whereas the immunoblot of the plasma-membrane fractions of the oocytes and immunocytochemistry failed to show a significant surface expression, suggesting a defect in trafficking of these mutant proteins. Furthermore, coinjection of wild-type cRNAs with mutant cRNAs markedly decreased the oocyte Pf in parallel with the surface expression of the wild-type AQP2. Immunoprecipitation with antibodies against wild-type and mutant AQP2 indicated the formation of mixed oligomers composed of wild-type and mutant AQP2 monomers. Our results suggest that the trafficking of mutant AQP2 is impaired because of elongation of the C-terminal tail, and the dominant-negative effect is attributed to oligomerization of the wild-type and mutant AQP2s. Segregation of the mutations in the C-terminus of AQP2 with dominant-type NDI underlies the importance of this domain in the intracellular trafficking of AQP2.

Abstract
The regulation of water excretion by the kidney is one of the few physiologic processes that are prominent in everyday life. This process predominantly occurs in renal collecting duct cells, where transcellular water reabsorption is induced after binding of the pituitary hormone arginine-vasopressin to its vasopressin type-2 receptor and the subsequent insertion of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels in the apical membrane of these cells. Removal of the hormone triggers endocytosis of AQP2 and restores the water-impermeable state of the collecting duct cells. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is characterized by the inability of the kidney to concentrate urine in response to vasopressin; the vasopressin type-2 receptor and the AQP2 water channel have both been shown to be involved in this disease. This article focuses on mutations in the vasopressin V2 receptor and aquaporin-2 water channel identified in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus patients, and on the effects of these mutations on the transport and function of these proteins upon expression in cell systems.

Abstract
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) usually shows an X-linked recessive mode of inheritance caused by mutations in the vasopressin type 2 receptor gene (AVPR2). In the present study, three NDI families are described in which females show clinical features resembling the phenotype in males. Maximal urine osmolality in three female patients did not exceed 200 mosmol/kg and the absence of extra-renal responses to 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin was demonstrated in two of them. All affected females and two asymptomatic female family members were shown to be heterozygous for an AVPR2 mutation. Skewed X-inactivation is the most likely explanation for the clinical manifestation of NDI in female carriers of an AVPR2 mutation. It is concluded that, in female NDI patients, the possibility of heterozygosity for an AVPR2 gene mutation has to be considered in addition to homozygosity for mutations in the aquaporin 2 gene.

Abstract
Several membranes of the kidney are highly water permeable, thereby enabling this organ to retain large quantities of water. Recently, the molecular identification of water channels responsible for this high water permeability has finally been accomplished. At present, four distinct renal water channels have been identified, all members of the family of major intrinsic proteins. Aquaporin 1 (AQP1), aquaporin 2 (AQP2) and the mercury-insensitive water channel (MIWC) are water-selective channel proteins, whereas the fourth, referred to as aquaporin 3 (AQP3), permits transport of urea and glycerol as well. Furthermore, a putative renal water channel (WCH3) has been found. AQP1 is expressed in apical and basolateral membranes of proximal tubules and descending limbs of Henle, AQP2 predominantly in apical membranes of principal and inner medullary collecting duct cells and AQP3 in basolateral membranes of kidney collecting duct cells. MIWC is expressed in the inner medulla of the kidney and has been suggested to be localised in the vasa recta. The human genes encoding AQP1 and AQP2 have been cloned, permitting deduction of their amino acid sequence, prediction of their two-dimensional structure by hydropathy analysis, speculations on their way of functioning and DNA analysis in patients with diseases possibly caused by mutant aquaporins. Mutations in the AQP1 gene were recently detected in clinically normal individuals, a finding which contradicts the presumed vital importance of this protein. Mutations in the AQP2 gene were shown to cause autosomal recessive nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. The renal unresponsiveness to arginine vasopressin, which characterises this disease, is in accordance with the assumption that AQP2 is the effector protein of the renal vasopressin pathway.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We recently cloned a cDNA of the collecting duct apical membrane water channel of rat kidney, which is important for the formation of concentrated urine (Fushima, K., S. Uchida, Y. Hara, Y. Hirata, F. Marumo, and S. Sasaki. 1993. Nature [Lond.]. 361:549-552). Since urine concentrating ability varies among mammalian species, we examined whether an homologous protein is present in human kidney. By screening a human kidney cDNA library, we isolated a cDNA clone, designated human aquaporin of collecting duct (hAQP-CD), that encodes a 271-amino acid protein with 91% identity to rat AQP-CD. mRNA expression of hAQP-CD was predominant in the kidney medulla compared with the cortex, immunohistochemical staining of hAQP-CD was observed only in the collecting duct cells, and the staining was dominant in the apical domain. Functional expression study in Xenopus oocytes confirmed that hAQP-CD worked as a water channel. Western blot analysis of human kidney medulla indicated that the molecular mass of hAQP-CD is 29 kD, which is the same mass expected from the amino acid sequence. Chromosomal mapping of the hAQP-CD gene assigned its location to chromosome 12q13. These results could be important for future studies of the pathophysiology of human urinary concentration mechanisms in normal and abnormal states.

Abstract
We report on 2 intellectually normal sisters with vasopressin-resistant (nephrogenic) diabetes insipidus (NDI). The sex of the patients, the history of parental consanguinity, and the fact that both parents formed normally concentrated urine suggested that the NDI in the 2 sisters was the result of inheritance of an autosomal recessive mutation affecting renal tubular water reabsorption. The results of DNA analysis of the DXS52 locus with the use of St14 as probe, shown by Knoers et al. [1988] to be tightly linked to the NDI locus on the X-chromosome, showed that each girl inherited different Xq28 regions of the maternal X chromosomes, ruling out a diagnosis of classical X-linked NDI.

Abstract
Three patients with congenital, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) from two unrelated families were tested for haemostatic and fibrinolytic responses to DDAVP infusion and venous occlusion. None of the three patients showed a response of factor VIII:C, vWF:Ag or t-PA to DDAVP, a V2-agonist. However, the baseline levels of these factors in the patients' plasma were normal and during venous occlusion a rise in t-PA antigen and t-PA activity was observed in all patients. One patient showed a definite response of the t-PA antigen level to exercise. It is concluded that (extrarenal) V2-receptor-mediated responses are absent in these patients, but that baseline homeostasis and the response to venous occlusion and physical exertion are intact. Presumably, these depend on other mechanisms. This observation denies a central role for vasopressin receptors in the on-demand regulation of clotting and clot dissolving properties of the blood.

Abstract
We describe a man with the fra(X) syndrome and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. The disease loci for both conditions are in the region Xq27.3-q28. This is the first report of the fra(X) syndrome associated with another X-linked disorder. Analysis of DNA markers suggested that the association in this man was coincidental.

Abstract
The physical properties and chemical composition of urine are highly variable and are determined in large measure by the quantity and the type of food consumed. The specific gravity is the ratio of the density to that of water, and it is dependent on the number and weight of solute particles and on the temperature of the sample. The weight of solute particles is constituted mainly of urea (73%), chloride (5.4%), sodium (5.1%), potassium (2.4%), phosphate (2.0%), uric acid (1.7%), and sulfate (1.3%). Nevertheless, urine osmolality depends only on the number of solute particles. The renal production of maximally concentrated urine and formation of dilute urine may be reduced to two basic elements: (1) generation and maintenance of a renal medullary solute concentration hypertonic to plasma and (2) a mechanism for osmotic equilibration between the inner medulla and the collecting duct fluid. The interaction of the renal medullary countercurrent system, circulating levels of antidiuretic hormone, and thirst regulates water metabolism. Renin, aldosterone, prostaglandins, and kinins also play a role. Clinical estimation of the concentrating and diluting capacity can be performed by relatively simple provocative tests. However, urinary specific gravity after taking no fluids for 12 h overnight should be 1.025 or more, so that the second urine in the morning is a useful sample for screening purposes. Many preservation procedures affect specific gravity measurements. The concentration of solids (or water) in urine can be measured by weighing, hydrometer, refractometry, surface tension, osmolality, a reagent strip, or oscillations of a capillary tube. These measurements are interrelated, not identical. Urinary density measurement is useful to assess the disorders of water balance and to discriminate between prerenal azotemia and acute tubular necrosis. The water balance regulates the serum sodium concentration, therefore disorders are revealed by hypo- and hypernatremia. The disturbances are due to renal and nonrenal diseases, mainly liver, cardiovascular, intestinal, endocrine, and iatrogenic. Fluid management is an important topic of intensive care medicine. Moreover, the usefulness of specific gravity measurement of urine lies in interpreting other findings of urinalysis, both chemical and microscopical.
