How to Treat Diabetes Insipidus
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Central DI
- A synthetic form of ADH-this drug could be taken by mouth, inhaled through the nose, or by injection
- Diuretic “water pill” or an antidiabetic medication-in mild cases to boost the ADH effect on the renal cells in the kidney
NDI
- A diuretic “water pill” could be used
- If lithium is causing the problem-another diuretic, amiloride, could be used
In both CDI and NDI, symptoms can often be reduced by:
- Decreasing the amount of sodium in the diet
- Medication called thiazide diuretics (diuretics they conserve water loss and decrease urine output in people with diabetes insipidus)
