Diabetes insipidus is a "disease that is characterized by frequent urination, excretion of large amounts of dilute urine, and excessive thirst. Etiologies of diabetes insipidus include deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (also known as ADH or vasopressin) secreted by the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary gland), impaired kidney response to ADH, and impaired hypothalamic regulation of thirst."Anonymous (2024), Diabetes insipidus (English).
