Fluid imbalances diabetes insipidus

Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a deficiency in antidiuretic hormone resulting from trauma to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland or brain tumor that causes the kidneys to excrete large amounts of water, leading to severe fluid volume deficit and electrolyte imbalances. Diabetes insipidus is treated by replacing the antidiuretic hormone with the administration of ... 

The posterior pituitary gland secretes antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin. ADH is a vasopressin. Ox5docin is released to start labor contractions. ADH promotes water reabsorption from the renal tubules to maintain water balance in the body s fluids. A deficiency of ADH, called diabetes insipidus (Dl), causes the kidneys to excrete large amounts of water. This leads to severe fluid volume deficit and electrol5de imbalances.
