Clinical study of a case with chronic and sustained hypernatremia and hypodypsia / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Water deprivation and loading tests were performed in a patient with sustained hypernatremia and hypodypsia. Results suggested that the regulation of ADH release was still retained despite of the raised threshold, being consistant with the diagnosis of essential hypernatremia. The hypernatremia of this patient was partially improved by dihydrochlorothiazide and desmopression acetate (DDAVP).
