Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus Associated with Nonobstructive Dilation of the Urinary Tract and Voiding Difficulty / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus(DI) is characterized by insensitivity of the distal nephron to vasopressin(ADH) and the inability to concentrate urine, which leads to excreting excessive quantities of urine. Upper tract dilation secondary to polyuria was previously shown to be associated with nephrogenic DI. We report here on 3 males with nephrogenic DI that caused voiding difficulty as well as massive nonobstructive dilation of the urinary tract.
