Introduction:
Diabetes insipidus is part of a spectrum of disorders that presents with polyuria and
PT
vasopressin (AVP, anti-diuretic hormone/ADH). This condition can also present during
pregnancy, due to normal human gestation causing a variety of effects on the maternal
RI
hypothalamic-pituitary axis and the metabolism of AVP. Diabetes insipidus was first
SC
reported in pregnancy in 1942, and has subsequently been shown to complicate at least 4
out of 100,000 cases of pregnancy. 1,2 Because of changes to maternal volume status and
U
hemodynamics, as well as osmotic homeostasis, it is important for health care providers
